History
According to the 1923 census, 704 Jews were living in the town. As a result of out-migration in the 1920s and 1930s, the number of Jews in the town decreased to around 500 by 1939[1]. On August 26, 1941, Jews of Dusetos, together with the Jews of Zarasai were murdered in a mass execution perpetrated by forces of Einsatzkommando 3, assisted by the Lithuanian police[2]. A monument stands today at the site of the shootings[3].
gollark: What?
gollark: ```lua local autorun = potatOS.registry.get "potatOS.autorun" if type(autorun) == "string" then autorun = load(autorun) end if type(autorun) == "function" then process.spawn(autorun, "autorun") end```
gollark: Okay, done, that is now easy.
gollark: Hold on a few minutes.
gollark: It doesn't actually randomly RUN registry stuff, but that is a BRILLIANT idea.
