Built on August 20, 1989, by the Ignalina District Council of the Lithuanian Persitvarkymo Sąjūdis. The authors are folk craftsman Juozas Jakštas and architect Valdas Ozarinskas. It is a 19 m high oak cross with a sculptural composition and a carved inscription „Through the suffering of Siberia to the resurrection“. At the foot of the monument is a cross formed from rails. The monument is dedicated to the memory of the mass deportations of the Lithuanian people in 1941–1952.
