Šilalė ({{Pronunciation|Silale.ogg}}, Samogitian: Šėlalė, {{lang-yi|שילעל}} Shilel) is a town in Western Lithuania, Samogitia, Tauragė County. It is located {{Convert|30|km|mi|abbr=on}} north of Tauragė. The River Lokysta flows through the town and there is a pond in the centre of the town.

History

The town is part of the Samogitian ethnographic region of Lithuania and was first mentioned in the sixteenth century. Its name derives from the generic word sila ("Pinewood") and Samogitian suffix -alė.

In July 1941, 135 Jewish men from Šilalė were shot on a site in the Jewish cemetery.^[1]

In September 1941, the Jewish women and children of Šilalė were shot in the Tūbinės forest. Around 1,300 Jews were massacred by an Einsatzgruppen of Germans and local Lithuanian collaborators.^[2]
