Užventis (pronunciationⓘ, Samogitian: Ožvėntis) is a city in the Kelmė district municipality, Lithuania.
[2] In other languages, the town is known by: Polish: Użwenty,[3] Yiddish: אוזשווענט Uzhvent.
The Lithuanian white armband squad formed in Užventis just after the German invasion, and they gathered Jewish residents of the village in the brewery in early July 1941.
At the end of July, the white armbanders dug a large pit in the Želviai forest.
The next day, they rounded up the majority of the Jews from the ghetto (about 50-70 people), brought them to the execution place and shot them.
