The Macikai camps are a unique and historically significant site of national and international memory. This is the only place in Lithuania\u2014and one of the few in Eastern and Central Europe\u2014where imprisonment structures of two totalitarian regimes (Nazi and Soviet) overlapped. Thousands of people were held here under brutal conditions, and many perished from torture or inhumane treatment.
Today, the Macikai camp complex includes the camp site, a solitary confinement cell, prisoners’ graves, a bathhouse, and possibly a former barracks building. In 1995, on the initiative of the \u0160ilut\u0117 Union of Exiles and Political Prisoners, a museum in the solitary confinement cell was established in Macikai, presenting various historical periods of the camp. The museum, which is a branch of the \u0160ilut\u0117 Museum, is located 2 km from \u0160ilut\u0117 in the village of Macikai, on the left bank of the \u0160y\u0161a River, in the former manor grounds. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
