According to Hana Shaf-Brener, there were three Yelovich families in Shkud.

1) Moshe Yelovich, 50, a merchant, was married to Sheyna, 52. They had a son, Ephraim, 18, who was a watchmaker and chairman of the youth group Hashomer Hatzair.

2) Chaim Yelovich, also a son of Moshe and Sheyne, was 27. He was married to a wife whose name Shaf-Brener does not give us, and the couple had two children whose names we also do not know. Jewish Gen’s Lithuania Marriages database records the 1938 marriage of Chaim Hirsh Joelovich, a merchant, born to Mausha and Sheine (nee Skuder) of Skuodas in 1912. Chaim Hirsh married Gute Riva Jakob, born in 1917 to Gershon and Sore Khinde of Darbenai.

3) Baruch Moshe Yelovich was married to Liba (nee Bakalor). Their children were Chaim Hirsh, born in 1931, and Chaya Hinda, born in 1934. Shaf-Brener lists this family twice, presumably in error. Jewish Gen’s Lithuania Marriages database records the 1927 marriage of Boruch Moisha Yoelovich, born 1896 to Leib and Sore Gita of Leipaja, to Libe Bakalior, born 1896 to Yosel and Khaye Hinde Bakalior of Skuodas.

Jewish Gen’s Yizkor Book Necrology Database records Moshe Jalowitz.

According to Hana Shaf-Brener, Berl Yelovich survived the war in the Soviet Army (18). Ephraim Yelovich was killed in battle: “Serving with the Soviet Army, Ephraim Yelovich was killed on Lake Ladoga, in the fights surrounding Leningrad on 02.08.1942. He was buried in the Kalininski cemetery. He was the head of the branch of the Hashomer Hatzair [Young Guards] in Shkud from the end of 1931 until the arrival of the Russians, when he was 17. He was very clever. His brother Leib told me that Ephraim wanted to travel from Russia to Israel on foot. That did not take place. He volunteered with the Soviet Army” (18).

In an article published in a Lithuanian newspaper in 1966, the author describes a local memorial service for the murdered Jewish community of Shkud: “The brothers L. and A. Jelovich also came here to bow their heads at the grave of their mother. Their father had been shot in Skuodas, their mother and aunt with five children, here, at the bottom of Alka hill” (A. Straksys “No One is Forgotten,” Musu Zodis Nov 17,1966).
