About 400 people were killed and buried in this place. About 500 m away is the second cemetery. The remains of people of Jewish nationality are buried in an area of 144 m². The terrain of the site is flat, most of the territory is also paved with stones. About 300 people were killed and buried in this place.

in 1941 the entire Jewish community of Šeduva - almost 700 people - was killed in these places. Before that, they spent another month in the ghetto established in the village of Pavartyčiai. August 25-26 The inhabitants of the ghetto were taken to the People's Forest. Condemned people who were killed by local policemen and white-collar workers on the orders of the Germans were herded near the excavated pit. Among those killed were 230 men, 275 women and 159 children.
