Ninth Fort in Kaunas, Lithuania, is a significant historical site with a complex and somber history. Initially constructed as part of the Kaunas Fortress complex in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it served various purposes over the decades, including as a defensive fortification, a prison, and a site of mass executions during World War II. Under Nazi occupation, the fort became a site where thousands of Jews, Soviet POWs, and others were massacred. Today, it serves as a museum and memorial, dedicated to preserving the memory of the victims and educating visitors about the atrocities committed there.
