In the territory of Baraka's former sugar factory filtration camp, Aviācijas iela 49, where in 1945 the imprisoned Latvian soldiers were secretly supplied with food by members of the Jelgava resistance organization "Three Star Column"
Infrastructure
The building of the current Pauls Bendrup Elementary School (former School for the Deaf and Dumb) at Filozofu Street 50, after the destruction of Jelgava during the Soviet-German war in July-August 1944 and the city coming under the second Soviet occupation, housed Jelgava 2nd (women's) Secondary School. In the fall of 1945, several members of the youth resistance organization "Three-Star Column" studied there.
In November 1945, Soviet security authorities arrested 20 members of this organization, mostly only 16-17 years old, including 13 boys and seven girls, as well as two more of their supporters. The Jelgava youth were accused of organizing illegal meetings and anti-Soviet agitation, collecting weapons and ammunition, supplying food to prisoners in the Sugar Factory filtration camp, providing support to national partisans in Lithuania, as well as other crimes against the USSR occupation regime.
The Baltic Military District Tribunal convicted 19 members of the Three-Star Column organization on May 23, 1946, sentencing them to 10 years in Gulag camps and 5 years of restriction of rights. After nine years in prison in Perm, Berezniki, Norilsk, and Karaganda, their return to their homeland became possible a year after Stalin's death in 1954.
