SONDERGHETTO
«SONDERGHETTO»
At the end of 1941, an unusual district appeared on the territory of the Minsk Ghetto that was one of the
largest ghettos in Europe. The “old-timers” of the Minsk Ghetto called the district “Hamburg’s district”,
because the first train with German Jews arrived on the Belarusian territory from Hamburg. Jews were
assured: “You are going to live on the new territories”. The “displaced residents” even paid for the
transit...
Trains with the “displaced residents” arrived in Minsk from Hamburg, Dusseldorf, Koenigsberg, Berlin,
Frankfurt... and then from Austria and the Czech Republic till the middle of 1942.
However, it was not necessary for the deported Jews to live on the new territories: the Jews were sent
away from the city and murdered in the death camp “Trostenez” that was situated just within a few
kilometers of Minsk. Some trains with the deported Jews drove straight to the death camp, without
stopping in the city.
According to some reports, 7 transports with Jews from Germany (6,428 people), 11 transports from Austria (10,476 people) and 7 transports from the Czech Republic (7,000 people) were sent to the Minsk
region in 1941-1942. 23,904 people were deported in 25 transports. Almost every Jew was murdered!
Some historians suppose that there were “displaced residents” from Poland, Hungary and France...
The documental film “Sonderghetto” is about this little-known chapter of the Holocaust, the Names and tragic destiny of the murdered Jews. It is also about the daily life in “Sonderghetto” and the relations
between “Hamburg’s district” and “Minsk’s district” Jews...
It is planned to shoot the film in those cities of Germany, the Czech Republic and Austria, from where
Jews were sent away by Nazis. In this regard the materials from the local museums will be used, the
interviews with historians and family members of the Holocaust victims will be prepared and the sites of
memory will be screened.
In the middle of the film there are stories of three children, who were saved from deportation. Edna Magder, Kurt Marx and Michael Rozenberg will tell us about their losses and their rescue.

Rigas Most Holy Virgin Church and Pokrova kapi Cemetery.wmv
May 19, 2010
Riga, Latvia
Come join TheCeļotājs journey through time past and present, as we visit the Rigas Most Holy Virgin Church in the Asylum and Riga's Pokrova kapsēta Pokrov Cemetery and the Russian World War II Memorial and Burial Site located at Mēness iela 3. The Rīgas Vissvētās Dievmātes Patvēruma baznīca Rigas Most Holy Virgin Church in the Asylum ANNO 1773 is an Orthodox Church.
Pokrova kapsēta Pokrov Cemetery located at Mēness iela 3 was created in 1773. Together with Vagaņskas, Novodevičas and Pokrova graves, graves of the Russian Empire including the five largest cemeteries. Necropolis orthodoxy and tradition of cultural heritage is priceless. The cemetery miraculously served the 20th century and the Russian occupation.
Although this old cemetery is seldom visited by anyone apart from the occasional animal enthusiast out to walk his dog, it's a fascinating place to stroll about for an hour or so. Most of the headstones are from the 19th century and tell tales of tsarist bureaucrats who will be dearly missed, but a small section is also dedicated to fallen communist soldiers crowned by a large gold-colored monument depicting a soldier carrying a Soviet flag. One bizarre stone also immortalizes roughly a dozen orphans who were supposedly drained of their blood by the Nazis.

Ievai Akurāterei bail vienai staigāt pa kapiem
Šodien Rīgas kapus apmeklēja Rīgas domes mājokļa un vides komitejas deputāti. Šobrīd kapus finansējuma trūkuma dēļ neapsargā.
Kā intervijā «Panorāmai» atzina Ieva Akurātere, šobrīd svarīgāk ir nodrošināt kārtību kapos un saglabāt esošo, lai nākotnē varētu attīstīt kapu tūrismu.
Reportāžu par domes deputātu izbraukumu uz kapiem, skatieties šovakar «Panorāmā».
