Lists of Jewish Holocaust Victims from Mazheik

The following lists include names of Jewish individuals or families from Mazheik who were brutally murdered by the Nazis, or their Lithuanian collaborators, in the course of the Holocaust, or fell in action during World-War II.

The first list was compiled from the following private sources (the codes refer to the “source” column in the table):

  1. NF - List prepared by Nechama Frid (nee Lipnitzky, native of Mazheik), Tel-Aviv, 25.6.2004. Nechama is associated with the Irgun Yotzei Lita ('Federation of ex-Lithuanians, tel.972-3-6964812 in Tel Aviv.
  2. YT - List included in the book: “The Litvak who Survived, Rescued and Went to Eretz-Israel” by Yehoshua Trigor, 2004, Hebrew (pp. 222-224, 227).
  3. PI - Personal information, mainly from family sources.

The second list was compiled from Pages of Testimony (PoT) from the Yad Va’Shem Organization. This list includes names of Holocaust victims who lived in Mazheik before and/or during WWII and/or died in Mazheik during the course of the Holocaust.

The list includes links to the appropriate Page of Testimony for each victim. Please note that in some cases there may be more than one PoT record for the same victim, originating from one or more sources. These records have been kept separate and have not been merged. The spelling of the name of the same person sometimes varies.

The details were submitted by relatives, friends or former residents of Mazheik. Names of PoT submitters are usually included at the linked Pages of Testimony, as well as additional information e.g. names of parents, spouse, children, occupation, date and place of birth etc.
