    The monument is placed at the Lake Mergelės Akys, where the bodies of resistance fighters from the Dainava military district Merkys corps and the Kazimieraitis corps who were killed in the Druskininkai region were dumped between 1944 and 1953. In the first years after the war began a resistance fight grew up in the Druskininkai region as well as in the rest of Lithuania. In 1944-1946, resistance fighters used to fight openly with the Red Army MGB, People's Defence Platoons (destroyers). About 10 thousand resistance fighters died in these fights in Lithuania. In 1946-1948, there were some 4,000 men and women who were still fighting in the woods.
