Lieplauke

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

A town along the road to Kretinga, 7 km west of Telsiai, the district's city. In 1884, the town had 145 residents. During the period of Independent Lithuania, about 15 Jewish families lived in Lieplauke. In 1922, the town had 327 residents. In 1923, the town still had a “shokhet” (slaughter). In 1924, the town's Jews were no longer able to assemble a “minyan”. In 1935, 14 people voted to the 19^th Zionist Congress: 10 voted for the “Eretz-Yisrael HaOveded” party, 3 for the General Zionists B, and 1 for the “Mizrakhi”. In June, 1941, when Germany conquered Lithuania, the fate of the Jews of Lieplauke was the same as the fate of the other Jews in the surrounding areas.
