Preface
In the summer of 2005, my husband Arnold and I, accompanied by our dear friend Birute and her guest Aiste, visited Seduva, a small town south west of Rozalimas.
We wanted to visit some interesting local attractions, so we did and we had a wonderful time together, but then I felt my blood stirring and I HAD to ask someone in Seduva, an elderly man we passed by, about former Jewish life in Seduva. He could tell us something, but there was a woman in Seduva who knew more .
He accompanied us to her house and we were invited to enter. The woman’s name was Marija Rozinskiene and as a child she witnessed the war. She was the former bookkeeper of the community of Seduva.
After giving us tea, coffee , cakes and chocolates, she invited us for a walk through Jewish Seduva
My aim is....
to tell people in general, and especially young people, about the Jews of Seduva. In this way I hope to arouse the reader’s interest in the part of history which will be revealed as soon as you’ll turn the page. It will be just a tiny part, because a lot of valuable information, concerning the Jewish community of Seduva, was destroyed during the Nazi-German Occupation (1941-1944) in Lithuania. So you’ll understand of course that a lot of questions I asked have still been unanswered till now. By means of this website I also hope to reach those people who will be able to answer some of my own questions.
Finally I hope to reach the scientific group of people who are specialized in Jewish history and hopefully to arouse their interest in continuing further research concerning the Jewish community of Seduva.
