There were about 200 Jewish families living in Seduva before1941.
They lived around the square in the centre of the town and in some
nearby streets.e.g the Sport gatve and the Kedainiai gatve.
The doctor and the pharmacist of Seduva were Jews and they lived at
the main street , opposite each other . Their names were
