Events in Dubingai
The village was warned that the Polish attack was imminent, and many individuals—including the policemen who participated in the Glinciszki massacre—escaped before the Poles began the killings. The AK targeted Dubingiai's Lithuanian populace, using Lithuanian prayer books as a means of identifying Lithuanians, but sparing those inter-married with Poles. While collaborators were supposedly the AK's prime targets, the killings included the elderly, children, and even infants. A Polish woman and her 4-year old son were also reported to have been killed. The total number of victims is estimated at between 20 and 27.
