<h3>Are Lithuanians racist to non white female tourists? Is it safe to go there alone?</h3>
I'm a non white female and I want to go to Lithuania. Is it safe there for female non white tourists? If I do face racism, what kind will it be?
<strong>Lithuania best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by Justė</i><br/>It would be safe,we are civilized country,but of course everywhere you can find stupid and aggressive people,but if you will be friendly to them,they'll be friendly to you I think:)
Even that you can find people of all races in Lithuania
But if you're going there first time,I'd suggest you to take a friend together,but if you want to visit Lithuania alone,do it how you want:)
Hope I helped:)
Sorry for my english:p</p>

Built at the end of the 19th century, the fort was the ninth in a series of forts constructed by the Russians to defend the western border of their empire. The Ninth Fort is a stronghold in the Lithuanian city of Kaunas. When the city was controlled by the Soviets, the stronghold was used as a prison and way-station for prisoners being transported to the Gulag. After the Nazis occupied the area, they used the fort as their place of execution for Jews, captured Soviets, and others. Jews from France, Austria and Germany were also brought to Kaunas and executed in the Ninth Fort. "We are 900 Frenchmen", Abraham Wechsler of Limoges inscribed in the wall immediately before his death. Today the mass burial place of the victims is a grass field, marked by a stark but frankly worded memorial in several language including both Yiddish and Hebrew – "This is the place where nazis and their assistants killed more than 30000 jews from Lithuania and other European countries". An impressive monument to commemorate the victims of Nazism was erected in 1984.
After the Second World War, the Soviets again used Ninth Fort as a prison for several years. It is now a museum.
