For the Jews who were killed in the woods of Pakruojis, Morkakalnis

and forand for Simse Machatas, killed near the big oak of Rozalimas before the big tragedy  (28-7-1941 and 4-8-1941)

and for the five Jewish men killed in the forest of Rozalimas during the summer of 1941, before the big tragedy:

O God, full of mercy, Who dwells on high, Defender of widows and Father of orphans, grant proper rest on the wings of the Divine Presence- in the lofty levels of the holy and the pure ones, who shine like the glow of the firmament- for the souls of millions of Jews, men, women and children, who were brutally and tortuously murdered, gassed and cremated, or buried alive, for the sanctification of Your Name. Holy and pure were they all, among them scholars and saints as majestic in Torah as the cedars of Lebanon. May the Master of Mercy shelter them in the shelter of His wings for eternity and may He bind their souls in the Bond of Life.May their resting place be in the Garden of Eden.Hashem is their heritage. May He remember their martyrdom, and may their righteousness stand in merit for us and all Israel.Earth, do not cover their blood! Do not silence their cries! In their merit may the scattered ones of Israel be gathered to their possession. May the martyrs’ righteousness forever be before Hashem. May they repose in peace in their resting places and rise at the end of days to life. Now let us respond: Amen.

Yad Vashem, Jeruzalem, in the Valley of Lost Communities.
