Max Curtis & Miriam Libenson at Killing Field MonumentMax Curtis offers comfort to Miriam (Gross) Libenson in a moment of great emotion as they visit the killing field near Aniksht in 1996. It was only 300 meters from this spot in July 1941, only a kilometer from Aniksht on the road to Skiemonys, that many of Aniksht's Jews were forced to dig their own mass grave in a sandy, hilly area known as the Hazenberg (Liudiskiai in Lithuanian).
