Kamajai (Polish: Komaje) is a small town in Rokiškis district municipality, Lithuania.
In 1905, during the revolution in Russia, locals as the social democratic leader Jurgis Smolskis created Republic of Kamajai and resisted the tsarist authorities.
The new Kamajai church, named after Saint Casimir, was built in 1903 in Gothic Revival style.
During the 1905 revolution, Jurgis Smolskis,[2] in coordination with other communities, helped to prevent a pogrom fomented by the tsarist authorities.
With the annexation of Lithuania to the Soviet Union in 1940, non-communist Jewish cultural activities were banned as for other Lithuanian citizens.
A few weeks later, the men were deported to Rokiskis and the women and children to the Obeliai area, where they were murdered in late August 1941 along with the rest of other Jewish citizens of the region.
