Memory places

Monument to three unknown Lithuanian partisans.

In September 2014, at the request of the Lithuanian Genocide and Resistance Research Center (hereinafter referred to as the LGGRT Center), archaeologists exhumed the remains of partisans who died in December 1944 in the village of Miškiniškės in the Kazitiškės eldership of the Ignalina district.

During the exhumation of the remains of the partisans, fragments of the remains of three people were found in the coffins. It is likely that there may have been more remains at the fire site, but they were scattered during the plowing of the land.

On May 17, 2015, commemorating the Day of Honoring Partisans, Unity of the Army and Society, three unknown partisans who died in the Miškininkė farmstead on the night of December 28, 1944, were solemnly reburied in the Švedriškė village cemetery.

In 2017, the LGGRT Center built a monument to three unknown partisans in the village of Švedriškė, which was honored during the commemoration of the Day of Honoring Partisans, Army and Society Unity in 2018.
