    This image shows the Ninth Fort memorial complex in Kaunas, Lithuania, a Holocaust and Soviet-era massacre site. A granite stone in the foreground bears the inscription 'THE WAY OF DEATH' in four languages: Lithuanian (Mirties Kelias), Russian (Дорога Смерти), Yiddish/Hebrew, and English. In the background stands the large abstract concrete monument erected in 1984 to commemorate the victims.

    U.S. Cavalry Soldiers visit a memorial to the 30,000 Jews massacred at the Kaunas Fortress during a cultural exchange trip Oct. 11. In the first of several cultural exchange outings, U.S. Cavalry Soldiers visited the Kaunas Fortress and museum Oct. 11 to learn about the horrific history of the site that has served as Russian military fortifications in WWI, Nazi extermination camp in WWII, and Russian prison and deportation center after WWII. U.S. Cavalry Soldiers are in Lithuania as part of the U.S. Army Europe-led Atlantic Resolve, a multinational combined arms exercise involving the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, and host nations, taking place across Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.
