The Museum of Occupations and Freedom Fights occupies the former KGB headquarters and prison in central Vilnius, where thousands were interrogated, tortured, and executed. Visitors descend into the basement cells and execution chamber, then view exhibits on deportations to Siberia, partisan resistance, and the struggle for independence. The museum presents personal belongings, secret police files, and harrowing survivor testimonies. It serves as both a memorial and an educational center, ensuring that the brutality of occupation is never forgotten.
