Rabbi Gerstein from Lazdei
On September 15, 1941, all the Jews - men, women, and children - were
taken to the barracks on the Katkishkes estate, about 1.5 kilometers from
the town, where a ghetto had been set up. Jews from Lazdei, Kopcheva,
Rudemian, and local villages were also thrown into the ghetto. The ghetto
was fenced off with barbed wire and strictly guarded by armed Lithuanians.
Life in the ghetto was administered by a committee comprised of representatives
of all the towns. Its head, a pharmacist from Kopcheva named Astrumsky,
consulted with Rabbi Gerstein from Lazdei on all ghetto-related matters.
At first the ghetto inmates received a daily ration of 200 grams of stale
bread and 300 grams of potatoes (1 gram=.035 ounce), but as time passed
the amounts declined. Ghetto inhabitants who had managed to retain a few
of their belongings gave them to Lithuanian peasants in exchange for food.
The lives and property of the ghetto occupants were at the absolute mercy
of the Lithuanians. One Lithuanian policeman, fancying a pair of boots
belonging to a Jew from Rudemian, simply shot the man and removed the
boots from the body.
