Ablinga is a village in Lithuania, located 48 km (30 mi) east of Klaipėda.

[2] On June 23, 1941, the second day of the Nazi invasion of Soviet Union, Nazi punitive squadron executed 42 villagers from Ablinga and nearby Žvaginiai [lt] (28 men and 14 women) and burned down their houses.

In 1972, in memory of the massacre a sculpture park was established at the Žvaginiai hill fort.

[4] The ensemble consists of 30 wooden statues, carved by various Lithuanian folk artists (see dievdirbys) and measuring some 6 metres (20 ft) in height.

The memorial, as the first monumental display of folk sculptures, was an important development in revival and modernization of the traditional Lithuanian art of wood carving and inspired other similar sculpture parks.
