A village in the Panevezys district, 11 km southwest of Ramygala. In 1897, Truskava had 320 residents. Prior to WWI, there was a small Jewish settlement in the village. Several Jewish families lived in Truskava also during the period of Independent Lithuania. According to the 1931 Lithuanian government census, Jews owned in the village a wool carder. When Germany conquered Lithuania in June 1941, the fate of the Jews of Truskava was the same as the fate of the Jews in the surrounding areas.
