Ponary massacre
The Ponary massacre was the mass murder of about 100,000 people, some 70,000 of them Jews, by German SS units and Lithuanian collaborators at Ponary (Paneriai) near Vilnius between 1941 and 1944. Victims were shot in pits in the forest, and Poles and Soviet prisoners were also killed there. It was one of the largest killing sites of the Holocaust in Lithuania.
