Deltuva,Ukmerge, Lithuania.

This old church was used by the Nazi's as a local head quarters until the Russians ran them off. So, the Nazi's blew it up on their way out. This wall was used for executions.

On March 11, 1990, Lithuania became the first Soviet republic to declare its renewed independence.

    We often lament, "If only walls could talk...," but this wall's story is now being heard.
    Thanks.

    There is a real feel of melacholy to this. Nicely treated.
