Riga in 3 days (Latvia)
Riga, Latvia.
Riga was the first destination of our trip and we spent there 72 hours (3 days) in the capital of Latvia.
We were very lucky because the weather was amazing and very sunny.
As far as I'm concerned the best attractions in Riga are the amazing National Library of Latvia with its stunning architecture and St. Peter’s Church with its observatory. From there you can enjoy an amazing view of the city.
Another nice spot to see the city from the top is the Panorama Riga Observation Deck or, if you also want to have a drink, there is the rooftop Skyline bar located at the 26th floor of the Radisson Blu Hotel.
In Riga there are so many interesting things to see and to do:
The Cathedral of Riga, Nativity of Christ Cathedral, the House of the Blackheads, the houses The Three Brothers, Livu Square, Albert Street and the Art Nouveau District, The Musée Art Nouveau, Vermanes Park, The Freedom Monument, The Central Market, Art museum, War museum, Kgb Building, Riga Ghetto, the Latvian Holocaust Museum...
If you enjoy drinking you could try the traditional herbal liqueur: The Black Balsam.

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!

cette visite peut être complèmentaire de l'exposition dicateur en image du pavillon populaire
En effet à l'entrée il y a un vagon de la mort entouré de toutes les explications en chiffres sur laa déportation dans les pays baltes mais un fois à l'intérieur notre attention va être attirée par une vidéo qui tourne en boucle
Cette vidéo est étrange à cet endroit... que des gens heureux, profitant de la vie musique entrainante dans ce qui ressemble presqu'a un camp de vacances, après quelques minutes nous pensons vite à une vidéo de propagande pour inviter les juifs à se rendre dans les guettos et montrer au monde entier que l'allemagne s'occupait bien d'eux!!!

Set in a clearing a few hundred meters from the Riga-Salaspils railway line, served first as a transitional camp and later, by personal order of Himmler, as the site of mass executions.
Salaspils Concentration Camp was established in October 1941 till its liberation in October 1944. The Nazi bureaucracy drew distinctions between different types of camps. Officially, Salaspils was a Police Prison and Work Education Camp Polezeigegfängnis und Arbeitserziehungslager to house 15,000 deported Jews and political prisoners. Approximately 12,000 persons went through the camp during its existence. 2,000 to 3,000 people died here.

Atklājot muzeja pirmo kārtu, mēs saprotam, ka speram tikai pirmo soli šajā garajā ceļā. Ar bruģakmeņiem no Rīgas geto ielām bruģētajā zemes gabalā izstādīti stendi ar vairāk kā 70 000 Holokaustā cietušo Latvijas ebreju vārdiem, kā arī fotoizstāde, kas veltīta antisemītisma propagandai, Holokaustam Latvijā, pretošanās kustībai un pasaules taisnajiem.
Nav iespējams atdalīt Holokaustu no 450 gadu ilgās Latvijas ebreju vēstures, tāpēc daļa ekspozīcijas veltīta tam, ko zaudēja Latvija un pasaule pēc šīs katastrofas.
Rīgas geto muzejs -- tas nav vienkārši muzejs. Tas kļūs par atgādinājumu par tiem baisajiem notikumiem Latvijas vēsturē, kuri nekad nedrīkst atkārtoties, par izglītības un kultūras centru, tolerances un savstarpējas cieņas avotu.
Atklāšanās ceremonijā piedalījas Rīgas vice-mērs, ministri un valstsvīri, Rīgas Domes deputāti, diplomāti, Latvijas uzņēmēji.

Latvians glorifyimg massMurdering of Civilian Jews during ww2
Over a thousand people in Latvia have gathered to honour Latvian SS-veterans who fought side by side with German nazis
during ww2...These coward Latvian heroes murdered many civilian Jews on the occupied by Germany baltic states during ww2..None of their Jewish victims belonged to regular Red Army,,.All victims were civilian Jews...even jewish children were murdered by coward Latvian ''freedom-fighters''...Many ppl condemned pro-nazi rally & worried about it inspiring nationalistic youths. Despite that, it's got support at the highest political levels..Shame on EU for not paying attention to pro-nazi sympathies in the Baltic states
