Memory register · custodian, not owner
Šiauliai (Shavl), in Lithuania, was home to a dynamic Jewish community closely linked to the leather and textile industries, several firms of which were founded and run by Jews. Merchants, artisans, tanners, and workers animated an active Ashkenazi communal life, with synagogues, schools, and associations. During the German occupation in 1941, a large part of the community was massacred, and the survivors were confined to a ghetto. The ghetto was liquidated in 1944 and its inhabitants deported, leaving only a handful of survivors.
