1. Holacaust: Yad Vashem - Page of Testimony. Three documents provide details on the tragic fate of Yitzak Malkinson, who, together with about 50 other Jewish men, was murdered on his own land on the second day of the Nazi occupation. His brother Aaron, who left Lithuania before the Holocaust, describes Yitzak's murder: "My brother Itzchok broke the ranks, attacked a Nazi officer with his bare hands and choked him to death. … With his heroic deed, he not only took revenge for his own blood, but for the whole Jewish Skuder community" (Malkinson, "My Shtetl Shkud" 21; see link on this page). Yitzak was then shot. Kehilat Shkud tells us that on June 29 1941, "Yitzhak Malkenzohn, hero of the shtetl, who only recently purchased the fields on which the Jewish blood was now shed, sprang upon a Lithuanian and strangled him with his bare hands before being shot in the head by the Germans" (45, 58). Hana Shaf-Brener recalls, "Behind the Shaul Hall, behind the storage places, near the Bartuva River, on the land of Zelikovich-Malkinson, [was] the big grave: [killings of men took place] from the beginning until the middle of July, 1941"
