The Ninth Fort 

As of today, this stronghold is still standing, located in the northern part of a city called Šilainiai. It is a part of the Kaunas Fortress, which was constructed in the late 19th century. During its history the fort was used as a prison, a way-station for prisoner transportation and as a place to execute Jews.
At the end of the 19th century the city of Kaunas was fortified and by 1890 was encircled by eight forts and nine artillery batteries. Construction of the Ninth Fort was started in 1902 and was completed before the World War I began. From 1924 on, the Ninth Fort was used as the Kaunas City prison.
During the years of Soviet occupation, the Ninth Fort was used by the NKVD to house political prisoners pending transfer to labor camps.
During the years of Nazi occupation, the Ninth Fort was put to use as a place of mass murder. 50,000 Jews, mostly from Kaunas, were transported to the Ninth Fort...
