Rabbi Ephraim Oshri wrote:
Immediately after the German occupation of Ŝeduva the Lithuanian murderers began robbing the Jews and killing them. They tortured the rabbi and other distinguished personalities. The Jewish men were taken to the outskirts of the town, where they were murdered. The Jewish women and children were held in the synagogue and, after being tortured, they were killed.
