Ground-penetrating radar reveals potential mass grave sites from the Holocaust in Lithuania
November 5, 2018, Geological Society of America


Researchers recently used ground penetrating radar to locate an unmarked, potential mass grave site in Lithuania, according to a new study that will be presented at The Geological Society of America's 2018 Annual Meeting in Indianapolis, Indiana, on Sunday, 4 November. The work aims to amass evidence that points to the likely locations of mass graves from the Holocaust and, in time, award federal distinction to the areas in the form of memorials.

"The larger context," says physical geographer Harry Jol from the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire, "is that, within the holocaust in Lithuania, every small and large town has a mass gravesite."
