Memorial to the victims of the massacre perpetrated by Soviet troops on civilians in Kuressaare in 1941. Russian soldiers tortured and murdered their victims in and around the castle. Bodies of women were found with barbed wire tied around their breasts.
In all it is estimated that some 2,500 people were murdered by the communist regime in Estonia during the first year of Soviet occupation.
