Labinava

In Yiddish, Labanove
An estate near Siauliai that was owned by a Polish “Porits” (landowner).
Written by Josef Rosin
Translated by Shaul Yannai

In 1865, a few Jewish families lived in the estate and the village next to it. They had a prayer house and a “shokhet” (slaughterer). In 1888, the landowner drove them out of the place. A few years later, Jews resettled in Labinava. A number of Jewish families lived there during the period of Independent Lithuania. During the period that Germany occupied Lithuania (1941-1945), a local farmer hid 20 Jews and they were liberated.
