Ninth Fort massacres of November 1941
Genocidal killings of nearly 5,000 Jews by German death squads during the Holocaust
The Ninth Fort massacres of November 1941 were two separate mass shootings of 4,934 German Jews in the Ninth Fort near Kaunas, Lithuania. These were the first systematic mass killings of German Jews during the Holocaust. The question of where these killings fit into the development of the Final Solution is a matter of dispute among historians.
