Aleksandrobolis

Written by Josef Rosin
Translated by Shaul Yannai
In Yiddish, Aleksandrbol

A village in northern Lithuania near the Latvian border, in the Rakishok district within the Abel subdistrict, about 12 km southeast of the Abel train station. When Independent Lithuania was established, Aleksandrobolis had 200 inhabitants. Amongst them were 10 Jewish families. The fate of the Jews who remained in Aleksandrobolis during the Nazi occupation was similar to the fate of the other Jews in the region: in autumn of 1941 they were all murdered by Lithuanian nationalists who served the occupying authorities. In 1959, in the first population census after the war, Aleksandrobolis had 139 residents and not a single Jew was among them.
