In today’s episode Jack will mention Grūto Parkas near the Lithuanian city of Druskininkai. By mentioning this controversial park, Jack and I are not commenting on the right or wrong of the park’s existence. Some people like the park, some people hate it, some people don’t care. We’re simply saying the park is of interest for some tourists. Of course millions of people died savagely at the hands of monsters like Lenin and Stalin and no mass murderers should receive a place of honor in any nation.
