Kulai
At the end of July 1941 all the Jews from Skuodas were taken from their homes by force. The men were separated from the women and children and were confined in sheds. Afterwards they were taken in groups of 50 to sand pits at the train station near to the village of Kulai, about 3 kilometers from Skuodas. The Jewish men, who were guarded by Lithuanians, were ordered to dig pits and then were shot on the spot in the course of a single night. It is estimated that 500 men were killed at this site.

Shaulist Clubhouse in Skuodas
The attack against the German forces in Skuodas launched on June 28, 1941 by remnants of the Red Army who remained in the village resulted in the arrest by the Germans of anyone, Jewish or non-Jewish, who was suspected of having aided the Soviets. Those arrested were held in the Shaulist Clubhouse. A selection was made between the non-Jews, who were released, and the Jews, who were shot in the square next to the Club. The murder operation was carried out under the command of Einsatzkommando A1.

Murder Site Alkos Hill
On July 17, 1941 the Jewish women and children were deported from the town of Skuodas. While they were being marched away, they were severely beaten. Anyone who could not keep up was shot. After two days of walking, they arrived in Dimitravas, 12 kilometers from the town of Kretinga. The women and children were kept there for a month and, then, on August 15, 1941, were taken by Lithuanian nationalists to Mount Alkos. There they were ordered to undress. Whatever they had with them was then stolen and they were shot. The Soviet commission that in 1945 investigated what happened at that location established that 510 people - 31 infants, 94 children, and 385 women - were shot on Mount Alkos itself or just below it.
