Beginning of the 1941 Terror Against the Jews in Riga Latvia Part I of III.wmv
Come join TheCeļotājs journey through time, as we journey back to the year 1941 and the beginning of the terror of the Jews in Riga Latvia. Starting in the month of June 1941 the Jewish terror began with the Soviet Union's Deportation of prominent Jews. With the Nazi Army entering the City of Riga Latvia on 1 July 1941 the Jews terror and horror starting on the night of 3 July.
Beginning on the night of 13 June and 14 June 1941 the Jewish people's terror began with the Soviet Union's Deportation of prominent Jews. This was only the beginning to what would be a long year of terror for the Jewish people.
Under the Nazi Occupation Authority, the terror and horror began on the night of 3 July 1941 when Jewish people were dragged from their homes where they were either arrested robbed beaten or just murdered. Those who were arrested were taken to the Prefecture Riga City Militia Department Headquarters located at Aspazijas bulvāris 7, the Riga Central Prison, also known as the Zentralka and the house of a Jewish banker located at Krišjāna Valdemāra iela 19. These places can be regarded as one of the main places of integration torture and murder during the summer of 1941.
On 4 July 1941, in the street opposite this house, volunteers of the Security Detachment were registered, all those who wanted, as it was written in the recruiting appeal, to take part in the cleansing of the country from bad elements. Thus the ill-famed Arajs Detachment that played a particularly fatal role in the tragedy of Latvian Jews was created. Tens of thousands of foreign Jews deported to Latvia in order to be murder here by there hands.
On 4 July 1941 with the burning of the Jewish Synagogues located through out Riga. Nazi sympathizers and collaborators began there program of burning all the synagogues located in Riga. The two most listed in Riga history during this horror is the Great Choral Synagogue on Gogola Street and Peitavas Street Peitav Shul Jewish Synagogue. The Great Choral Synagogue was burned to the ground with some 300 Jews locked inside and burned to death. The only synagogue in Riga that did survive the burnings was the Peitavas Street Peitav Shul Jewish Synagogue located at Peitavas iela 6 / 8. The only reason for this was its proximity to other buildings in Old Riga Centre City. For it was located next to other buildings and there was a fear that burning it down would set the other buildings on fire. But it didn't escape being ransacked and turned into a warehouse.
Biķernieku Forest is where the largest site of mass murders and burial of victims of Nazi terror in Latvia is located. From 1941 till 1944, located in 55 mass graves where 35,000 people, including Latvian and Western European Jews, Soviet war prisoners, and the Nazis' political adversaries, were murdered here. In 1943, Riga Ghetto prisoners who were not transferred to the Kaiserwald concentration camp were murdered here, followed in the autumn of 1944 by those Kaiserwald prisoners no longer able to work. Biķernieku Forest is located 3 kilometers east of Riga centre city and on the south side of Biķernieku iela.
The former 1941 Riga Ghetto was located in a small area in Maskavas Forštate where over 30,000 Jewish men women children families and undesirables were concentrated in the small 16 block area which is not larger then a large shoe box were living quarters were assigned not by rooms but by mere square meters, a mere 4 Square Meters per person of roughly 43.056 Square Feet or an area roughly 6 foot by 7 foot or an average bathroom. Where living conditions became inhuman and food became scarce. There was also great poverty, as food rations were given only to those who worked, i.e. to about a half of the ghetto inmates. They had to maintain their 5652 children and 8300 elderly and disabled people. The ghetto only had 16 groceries, a pharmacy and a laundry, and a hospital was arranged. Where some people had barely enough to eat maybe a piece of bread if they were that lucky to even have that!

Holocaust Memorial - Skede Dunes Massacre
This video is not a political statement. That time in history was huge crime against humanity and it is important, that everyone remembers.
HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL - Skede massacres
The tragedy in the dunes of Skede
The name Skede is as well as known to the whole world as Bikernieki and Rumbula - the places of extermination of Latvian Jews. An obelisk was erected in Skede in the beginning of the 60's to commemorate mass executions of the Soviet prisoners of war, Liepaja Jews, and other civilians.
There, in the dunes of Skede on the Baltic Sea shore, the History of a 150 year old Liepaja (Libau) Jewish Community recorded its darkest events. The pre-war Jewish community numbered over nine thousand people, a considerable part of Liepaja population. During WWII more than nineteen thousand people were murdered; they were shot and thrown into ditches. The Open Puplic Foundation Liepaja Jewish Heritage initiated a contest for creation of Memorial in the dunes of Skede. The jury of the contest approved Raimonds Gabalinsh, Liepaja sculptor's, concept named Kadish. The shape of the Memorial resembles a Menorah made of boulder stones from the fields of Kurzeme. The lights are made of large granite columbs with inscriptions from Torah.
Remember, it didn't start with gas chambers. It started with politicians dividing people with us vs them. It started with intolerance and hate speech and when people stopped caring, became desensitized and turned a blind eye.
It's hebrew, it's from the Talmud. It says, whoever saves one life, saves the world entire. - Itzhak Stern
