6. Vilnius is a very pretty Capitol with a dark history

The city keeps reminders of its dark past....where secret police would take prisoners into a police building and shoot them....bullet holes/blood still on the walls. Just outside the city on the train line, pits can be viewed where Jews were trained-in and lined along the pits to be shot so they would fall into the pit. There's a small run-down building next to the pits housing a rustic museum with few visitors but sobering information.

The Baltic countries have been invaded 3 times, 1x by Germans, 2x by Russians, so they know all about brutality.
