The Hill of Crosses in Lithuania stands as an astonishing testament to faith and perseverance. Originating in the 19th century, it began as a poignant tribute where individuals commemorated their lost loved ones from uprisings within the former Lithuanian-Polish commonwealth. Throughout the Soviet era, this hill transformed into a symbol of quiet defiance. Despite the regime's repeated attempts to obliterate it, local residents persistently and courageously repopulated the site with even more crosses. This continued act of silent rebellion morphed the site into a beacon of hope and solidarity. Gaining international recognition when Pope John Paul II graced it with his presence in 1993, the Hill of Crosses has since drawn visitors from around the globe. As an ever-evolving monument, guests are encouraged to contribute their own cross to the growing collection. Whether you acquire a cross during your visit, carry one from your homeland, or craft a personal homage by hand, you're invited to add to the hill's remarkable legacy.
Visit of Salaspils Memorial Ensemble
The Salaspils Memorial Ensemble stands as a poignant historical site, marking the location where a police prison and labor correctional camp operated by Nazi Germany existed from 1941 to 1945. Inaugurated in 1967 during the Soviet era—a time when efforts were directed towards obscuring the dark chapters of Stalin's rule and highlighting the atrocities committed by the Nazis—this memorial serves as a powerful reminder of the past. Dominating the landscape is an imposing 100-meter-long concrete wall, inscribed with the haunting phrase, "Beyond these gates the land groans," symbolically representing the threshold between existence and oblivion. The site is further accentuated by seven evocative concrete sculptures with titles that convey emotions and states borne out of the brutal history they embody: "Mother,” “The Unbroken,” “The Humiliated,” “Protest,” “Red Front," “Solidarity,” and “The Oath." Enhancing the educational aspect of the memorial is an indoor exhibition space that welcomes visitors to engage with history through an array of exhibits, including written accounts, photographic evidence, and compelling video testimonials in which survivors recount their harrowing experiences, providing insights into their courage and the remarkable stories of evasion and endurance.
