Murder Story of Skuodas Jews in Kulai

At the end of July 1941 all the Jews from Skuodas were taken from their homes by force. The men were separated from the women and children and were confined in sheds. Afterwards they were taken in groups of 50 to sand pits at the train station near to the village of Kulai, about 3 kilometers from Skuodas. The Jewish men, who were guarded by Lithuanians, were ordered to dig pits and then were shot on the spot in the course of a single night. It is estimated that 500 men were killed at this site.
