Krekenava ( Polish: Krakinów; Yiddish: קרקינובה, romanizedKrakinova) is a town (population 1,375) in Panevėžys district municipality in northern Lithuania, on the bank of Nevėžis.

History

From 1409 it was the center of Upytė poviat, the first wooden church built by Vytautas the Great in 1419. Nearby Krekanava is a birthplace of the painter Roman Szwoynicki (1845–1915).

In July and August 1941, an Einsatzgruppen of Lithuanian nationalists massacred the Jewish residents of the town, about 50 grownups and 60 children. Along with Jews they also shot so-called Communists and Soviet activists, in all about 190 people. [1] The massacre took place in a ditch between the old and new cemeteries.
