Project

The database makes information about Holocaust memorial sites in Latvia available to a wider public for the first time. It contains map of the Jewish killing sites and a structured information on the each site – a brief history, location, characteristics and a reference to the related names of Jews.

The database was elaborated within the framework of a project of the Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Latvia, carried out under the patronage and with the partial financial support of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance in close collaboration with the Council of Jewish Communities of Latvia and the museum “Jews in Latvia”.
