The same methods of identification are used in Bosnia, Rwanda and other places of mass killings. Most victims' remains currently rest in banana boxes at the Forensic Medicine Center, Jurgelis said. A wooden fence now surrounds the territory of the park, with a large padlock on the gates. A small, abandoned chapel stands covered with graffiti in one corner of the fenced territory. Inside the fence are a big field, several lanterns and big trees with fat ravens on them.
Nothing physically reminds one of the tragedy there, but the recent findings have raised eyebrows.
The government promised to build a memorial to the victims in Tuskulenai. On Jan.29, the government created a commission for the commemoration of the Tuskulenai victims. One of the members of the commission is Dalia Kuodyte, director general of the Center of Genocide and Resistance and editor of the journal Genocide and Resistance. It lost one-third of its inhabitants due to killings, deportations and forced emigration. The Tuskulenai story is strongly tied with the Lithuanian partisans' war against the Soviets.
