 
 In the summer of 2008, I travelled to Skuodas to visit the town where my father had grown up. Joana 
Sleiniene, a worker at the Skuodas Museum, and our translator, a local English teacher, Roma Zemaitiene, 
spent three hours showing me the places associated with the town’s Jewish history, including the 
remains of the cemetery with its present-day monuments and the monuments to the Jews who were murdered 
in and around Skuodas.
