Raina Park - Site of the June 1941 Mass Murders and its Memorial.wmv
Come join Liepāja Tours and TheCeļotājs visit to Raiņa Park the site of the June 1941 Mass Murders and its Memorial located at the north end of the Raiņa Park.
The first murder operation took place on the first day of occupation, 29 June 1941, when the Einsaztkommando shot a group of Jews along with other Latvian activists and Red Army POW's in the anti-tank ditches in Rainis Park. The killings were carried out by Einsatzkommando 1a, under the command of SS-Obersturmfuhrer Fritz Reichert. Groups of victims according to different sources, between 33 and 150 men that apparently comprised of Jews and suspected political activists and Red Army POW's were ordered to march in line along Brīvības iela to the two ditches previously dug by the Red Army, 100 and 200 meters in length, where they were shot.
There are different estimates of the total number of victims that varies from several dozen to about 300. The Soviet Extraordinary State Commission investigating Nazi crimes noted that is seemingly exaggerated 1,430 people were killed in Raiņa Park.

History (from Wikipaedia)
The Liepāja massacres were a series of mass executions, many in public or semi-public, in and near the city of Liepāja (German: Libau), on the west coast of Latvia in 1941 after the Nazi occupation of Latvia. The main perpetrators were detachments of the Einsatzgruppen, the Sicherheitsdienst or SD, the Ordnungspolizei, or ORPO, and Latvian auxiliary police and militia forces. Wehrmacht and German naval forces participated in the shootings.[1] In addition to Jews, the Nazis and their Latvian collaborators also killed Gypsies, communists, the mentally ill[1] and so-called hostages.[2] In contrast to most other Holocaust murders in Latvia, the killings at Liepāja were done in open places.[3] About 5,000 of the 5,700 Jews trapped in Liepāja were shot, most of them in 1941.[2] The killings occurred at a variety of places within and outside of the city, including Rainis Park in the city center, and areas near the harbor, the Olympic Stadium, and the lighthouse. The largest massacre, of 2731 Jews, and 23 communists, happened from December 15 to 17, 1941, in the dunes near Šķēde, on an old Latvian army training ground.[2] More is known about the killing of the Jews of Liepāja than in any other city in Latvia except for Riga.[4]

Šķēde Dunes -- Site of the 1941 Mass Murders and its Memorials.wmv
Come join Liepāja Tours and TheCeļotājs visit to Šķēde dunes which is the largest areas of mass murder sites in Liepāja that took place between 1941--1942, located 15 kilometer north of the City of Liepāja and about a kilometer from the roadway leading to the Šķēde dunes and located along the Baltic Sea shore line.
As we arrive in the parking lot and the path that leads to the mass killing fields and the Šķēde dunes memorials as we start up the path leading to the area and located along the path leading to the Šķēde dunes is a small memorial plaque dedicated to the some 3000 plus anti-Nazi non-Jews of the total people who where murdered here also. Moving up the path we will come to the Jewish Memorial, which is in the shape if a Jewish Hanukkah.The total number of people who were murdered at this location differs from one account to another. Located north of the Jewish Memorial is the Russian Memorial. Starting at the south end of the woods, as you look from the memorials is the start of the mass murder trench lines and continual through the woods to north of the woods along the dunes. The grassy area just in front of the Jewish Memorial is the area that the Jews that were to shot were held before being taken to the trench lines to be shot.
In contrast to most other Holocaust murders in Latvia, the killings at Liepāja were done in open places. About 5,000 of the 5,700 Jews trapped in Liepāja were shot, most of them in 1941. The killings occurred at a variety of places within and outside of the city, including Rainis Park in the city center, and areas near the harbor, the Olympic Stadium, and the lighthouse. The largest massacre, of 2731 Jews, and 23 communists, happened from 15th to the 17th of December 1941, in the dunes near Šķēde, on an old Latvian army training ground. More is known about the killing of the Jews of Liepāja than in any other city in Latvia except for Riga.
The murders in the dunes at Šķēde on the Baltic shore began as early as July 1941. Some 200 Jews were murdered there. During a three-day massacre on 15-17 December 1941, German and Latvian units killed 2,749 Jews, more than half of Liepāja's Jewish population. Preparations for the operation began some days before. On 13 December 1941, Liepāja Police Chief Obersturmbannfuehrer Fritz Diedrich placed an announcement in the Latvian newspaper Kurzemes Vards stating that Jews were forbidden to leave their living quarters on Monday, 15 December and Tuesday, 16 December 1941.
The German SD in 1943 poured chlorine over the corpses.
