Jurbarkas (in Yiddish Yurburg) is a city of western Lithuania (Jurbarkas district, Tauragė region), on the Niemen at the border with East Prussia. The Jewish community, attested from the 16th century, was one of the oldest in the region. In the summer of 1941, the Einsatzgruppen and Lithuanian auxiliary units massacred virtually all of the approximately 3,000 Jews of the city.
