Bulavenai

Written by Josef Rosin
Translated by Shaul Yannai
(Yiddish, Bulavyan)

A small village in the Raseiniai district, 8 km southwest of Tytuvenai and 2 km from the Radviliskis-Tilsit railway line.

The village had a few Jewish families during the period of Independent Lithuania. On the 15^th and 16^th of August, 1941, Nazis and their Lithuanian helpers murdered the Jews of Bulavenai together with the Jews of Padubysys and the Jews of Lyduvenai. At the beginning of the 1990's a memorial tablet written in Yiddish was placed on the mass grave, commemorating the victims of the three towns.
