The Old Information Board with the Changed Address: (Stalin Ave., Ožeškienė St. No. 15)
This heavily rusted board hung empty; our names appeared after a dinner with neighbors.
During the interwar period, with the onset of Stalin’s regime, such boards could be found in almost every larger courtyard.
Information boards were hung to facilitate the search for wanted residents. During the repressions, the aim was to quickly find people who needed to be arrested and deported. However, as disappearances became more frequent, these boards ceased to help; on the contrary—they exposed the actions of the regime.
