Padubysis is a village in the Kelmė District Municipality in Lithuania.
History
Before World War II, the village was a shtetl; the majority of the inhabitants were Jews until the German invasion of Russia in June 1941.[1] On August 15 and 16, 1941, 120 Jews from Padubysis and the nearby villages of Lyduvėnai and Bulavėnai were murdered in a mass execution perpetrated by German Einsatzgruppen and local Lithuanian collaborators. [2] A stele has been erected on the site of the massacre.
