Translated by Shimon Joffe A county town in the Trakai district, 14 km. south east of Ziezmariai. In the elections to the first Seimas in 1922, 7 Jews voted. In 1923, 232 inhabitants registered on the voters' rolls, among them 12 Jews. After the invasion of Lithuania by the Germans in June 1941, the fate of the local Jews was the same as that of other Jews of the surrounding area.
