A small town on the Lithuanian plain, Seduva sees its Jews locked in barns then led in several stages to the Liaudiskiai forest, where the shootings are spread over the summer.
Seduva, an agricultural town in central Lithuania, had preserved its wooden synagogue and its ancient cemetery. The Jews were confined there upon the arrival of the occupier, publicly humiliated, then led in groups toward the nearby woods where the shootings took place over the course of several days.
