Reburial site for Holocaust victims Memorial site

Nazi troops entered Aizpute on June 28, 1941. Already at the beginning of July, individual Jews were shot in the Dzirkaļi Forest and the city park, while the rest of the Jews from the city and the surrounding area were arrested and placed in two city synagogues.

The mass murder of Jews then took place during two campaigns.

Nowadays, a monument has been erected at the reburial site with an inscription in Hebrew and Latvian: “Here are buried the Jews of Aizpute and other innocent victims of the German Nazis, brutally murdered in 1941. We will remember them forever.”
