Between 1945 and 1954, 8,268 people were held here in cells. To break those arrested physically and psychologically, they were interrogated and tortured, sometimes to death.
The exhibition introduces the partisan movement in western Lithuania in 1945–1954 and the history of political prisoners and deportees. It is a branch of the Mažosios Lietuvos istorijos muziejus (Lesser Lithuania History Museum).
