Zeimelis Mass Murder Victims List
August 8, 1941.
This list compiled by me, is subject to further editing and additions. The mass grave is near the village of Veleisiai about  2 km from Zeimelis, in which approximately 160 men,women and children are buried. Some names and words are in color to help me identify my sources. My two main sources are, a list written in Russian by Feivel Zagorski, and Yad Vashem.
