History

The village was a shtetl, and most of the inhabitants were Jewish. According to the census of 1897, there were 533 Jews living in the village (91% of the total population). In the beginning of the 20th century, many of the Jews left for Israel or the United States, and in 1935, Jews constituted 68% of the total population.

At the end of August 1941, Latvian civil defense police (reportedly - former members of the Aizsargi) arrested Jews and locked them into the synagogues. Then they were moved to Ribiniški Forest (4 km. northwest of the shtetl) and murdered there in a mass execution. There were some local inhabitants from Soluions district who took part in the massacre and several Germans who watched it.[1]

gollark: Int8 apparently causes it to just output random noise and I never got round to trying quantisation aware training for it.
gollark: It's quite strange that apparently BERT can be statically quantized without any extra training and retains decent accuracy but GPT-Neo emits nonsense going through the same process.
gollark: I was looking into quantization-aware training a while ago, but on the 125M model, and running that for a bit made it produce English-looking nonsense instead of random noise.
gollark: I think there's technically a way to swap bits of the model in and out of VRAM but it would still be quite slow.
