Varakļāni Jewish Cemetery, at the end of Kapsētas Street.

There are two monuments erected in the Varakļāni Jewish cemetery after the war by surviving relatives and relatives.

One of them is located near the cemetery fence, where the mass extermination of Jews took place. The inscription on it in Russian and Yiddish reads: "We will mourn forever with our parents, brothers and sisters who died at the hands of the fascists in 1941." The second monument is inside the cemetery; In the place where the killed Jews were later reburied, there is also an inscription in Yiddish and Russian: "Eternal memory of the victims of the German-fascist terror - the Jews of Varakļāni, brutally killed on August 4, 1941".

Nazi German troops entered Varaklani in 1941. In early July, and from the very first days, the siege and isolated killings of Jews began. A conditional ghetto was established near the Jewish cemetery, to which all Jews had to move. On August 4, a German SD unit (the "Arāja team") shot virtually all Jews in Varakļāni (about 540 people) with the help of local self-defense forces on the territory of the Jewish cemetery.

Every year on the first Sunday of August, a memorial event dedicated to the Jews killed in Varakļāni takes place in the Varakļāni Jewish Cemetery.

Das Melānija-Vanaga-Museum ist in der einstigen Dorfschule von Amata (Landkreis Cēsis) untergebracht. Das Museum präsentiert Materialien über das Leben, die dichterische Tätigkeit, die Familiengeschichte und das Lebensschicksal der Schriftstellerin und Kulturhistorikerin Melānija Vanaga: Videoaufnahmen über Sibirien und die dorthin deportierten Letten sowie die nachempfundene sibirische Erdhütte sind wie eine imaginäre Reise in den Verbannungsort der Schriftstellerin - Tjuchtet im Gebiet Krasnojarsk. Aussehen und Einrichtung der Behausung vermitteln einen lebendigen Eindruck vom harten Alltag in der Fremde. Die Erdhütte birgt seltene betagte Gegenstände aus dem Museum in Tjuchtet: ein Gefäß aus Birkenrinde (genannt „Tujesok“), einen Tonkrug („Krinka“ genannt) und eine Petroleumlampe. Das Museum verfügt über Videoaufzeichnungen von Interviews mit politisch Verfolgten aus der Region und achtzehn Figuren aus Melānija Vanagas autobiografischem Buch „Veļupes krastā“. Die virtuelle Ausstellung des Museums „SEI DU SELBST!“ (http://esipats.lv) schildert die Erlebnisse von fünf deportierten Kindern und ihren Eltern, die von den sowjetischen Behörden zu Unrecht des „Vaterlandsverrates“ beschuldigt wurden.

Die Mahn- und Gedenkstätte Salaspils befindet sich in der Gemeinde Salaspils, 1,2 km von der Fernstraße A6 Riga-Daugavpils entfernt. Sie wurde 1967 an der Stelle des Konzentrationslagers Kurtenhof eröffnet. Es handelt sich hier um einen von Mythen und Halbwahrheiten umwobenen Ort, der von der sowjetischen Propaganda ausgenutzt wurde: ein Beispiel in Lettland für die Nazi-Verbrechen und die kommunistische Ideologie. Kurtenhof/Salaspils war ein Straflager („Arbeitserziehungslager“) innerhalb des deutschen Strafvollzugssystems. Es bestanden Ähnlichkeiten zu klassischen Konzentrationslagern. Das Lager wurde als „erweitertes Polizeigefängnis“ geführt und aufgebaut, um die Rigaer Gefängnisse zu entlasten. Unterschiedliche Gruppen von Menschen waren hier inhaftiert: Juden, sowjetische Kriegsgefangene, Arbeitsverweigerer, politische Gefangene, Kriminelle, Prostituierte, Mitglieder der lettischen Widerstandsbewegung, bestrafte baltische Soldaten, die zum deutschen Armee- oder Polizeidienst herangezogen waren und andere. Bis zu 2200 Häftlinge waren gleichzeitig in dem Lager untergebracht. Die Haupttodesursachen (ca. 2000) waren Unterernährung, die schweren Arbeitsbedingungen, körperliche Züchtigung und Krankheiten.

Dieses Denkmal befindet sich auf dem Friedhof Pilistvere.

Die Vorarbeiten für das Denkmal begannen 1988, als sich 300 Menschen für die Sache einsetzten. Die gemeinsame Anstrengung der Freiwilligen dauert bis heute an, wobei jedes Jahr Verbesserungen an der Gedenkstätte vorgenommen werden. Die Idee für das Denkmal kam vom Freiheitskämpfer Lagle Parek.

In seiner Mitte liegt ein Steinhaufen, der von Orten in ganz Estland, aus Sibirien und noch weiter entfernt von estnischen Auswanderern mitgebracht wurde. Der Steinhaufen wird von einem großen Kreuz gekrönt. Der Fuß des Kreuzes ist ein symbolisches Grab, zu dem die Esten Steine bringen, um ihrer nach Sibirien deportierten Angehörigen zu gedenken.

Der Steinhaufen ist von Felsbrocken umgeben, einer für jeden Bezirk, entworfen von Aate-Heli Õun und in Phasen gesetzt.

In der Nähe des Denkmals befinden sich Gedenksteine für die Opfer der Verstrahlung von Tschernobyl, für die Waldbrüder, für die Wehrpflichtigen in den Arbeitskolonnen des NKWD, für estnische Freiwillige in der finnischen Armee und für Freiheitskämpfer. Diese wurden alle von Endel Palmiste entworfen.

Neben dem Steinhaufen wurde in der Nähe des Denkmals ein Hain mit mehr als 2000 Gedenkbäumen gepflanzt. Der Hain wurde vom renommierten Landschaftsarchitekten Andres Levald entworfen.

Das historische Pfarrhaus Pilistvere, das als Hauptgebäude der Gedenkstätte dient, beherbergt ein Archiv und eine Ausstellung des Estnischen Geschichtsmuseums über die Besetzung Estlands.

The Latvian Army Summer Camp in Litene is located in the forest in Litene parish, near the Pededze River. The beginnings of the Litene Camp can be traced back to 1935 when the construction of a summer camp complex for the Latgale division of the Latvian Army was started. From May to autumn, several thousand soldiers learned combat tactics and shooting skills in Litene. In the summer of 1941, Latvian Army officers were arrested by Red Army and NKVD troops at an army summer camp in Litene. Several officers were shot on the spot, while others were deported to Siberia. On 14 June 1941, at least 430 officers were arrested and deported to Siberia in the Litene and Ostrovieši camps about 10 kilometres from Litene. The only historical building that has survived from the camp is a food storage facility. Only the foundations remain from the other buildings. There is a viewing platform with the Latvian flag, benches and a well-maintained place for a fire. A demilitarised cannon was installed with the support of the Ministry of Defence and the National Armed Forces. Information boards are in place. The Wall of Pain memorial in the Litene graveyard is also connected with the events at the Litene camp. The YouTube channel of the Latvian Army features a video named ‘Litene, Katyn of the Latvian Army’.

Artrodas Litene cemetery.

On June 14, 2001, the memorial “Wall of Pain” created by architects Dina Grūbe, Benita and Dainis Bērziņš, stonemasons Ivars Feldbergs and Sandra Skribnovskis was unveiled in Litene Cemetery, it symbolizes the resting place of the soldiers killed in 1941. In October 1988, the ashes of 11 officers killed in June 1941 by the Soviet Army were found in the territory of the former Latvian Army summer camp in Sita Silila, Litene Parish. Although they could not be identified, on December 2, 1989, at the consecration service in Gulbene Evangelical Lutheran Church, Litene Cemetery was solemnly reburied.

11 white crosses, memorial plaque and information stands.

Located in the forest 50 m from the highway V36, in the section from the village of Jugla paper factory to the highway P4.

Between February 3 and March 25, 1941, the remains of 23 people were described in four pits at the site. The victims were shot in a check building in Riga. The exhumation took place on April 27, 1944. At that time, 14 burials were identified, today, as a result of research, all those buried in this place have been identified.
The White Cross was erected at the site on July 12, 1991, as a memorial to the victims of the communist occupation. The White Cross was made and installed by the folk fronts and residents of Stopiņi County. In 1998, a memorial stone made by the sculptor Uldis Stergs with the inscription "Victims of the Russian Empire in 1941" was erected near the White Cross.

Buried here: Jānis Bergmanis (1900-1941), Alberts Bļodnieks (1904-1941), Kārlis Goppers (1876-1941), Arveds Laane (1916-1941), Ernests Ošs-Oše (1882-1941), Antons Pacevičs (1901 -1941), Joseph Poseiko (1897-1941), Arnold Smala (1912-1941), Joseph Stoller (1903-1941), Valfrid Vanx (1888-1941), Zenon Vyaches (1904-1941), Viktor Kopilov (1904-1941) ), Kārlis Prauls (1895-1941), Artūrs Salnājs (1904-1941), Jevgenijs Simonovs (1896-1941), Eduards-Verners Anerauds (1897-1941), Ephraim Gorons (1910-1941), Pēteris Ļaksa-Timinskis (1913 -1941), Pēteris Melbārdis (1892-1941), Israel Paļickis (1911-1941), Jānis Priedītis (1897-1941), Jānis-Arnolds Stālmanis (1913-1941), Aleksandrs Veinbergs (1884-1941).

Atrodas Rīgā, Brīvības un Stabu ielu krustojumā.

1911. gadā būvētais nams ir viens no skaistākajiem Rīgā. Tautā saukts par “Stūra māju”, ir baisākais Padomju okupācijas režīma simbols Latvijā. “Čeka” bija īpaši represīva struktūra - viens no PSRS varas balstiem. Tās darbība Latvijā cieši saistīta ar ēku Brīvības un Stabu ielas stūrī.

“Stūra mājā” čeka darbojās okupācijas laikā no 1940.gada līdz 1941. gadam un atkal, sākot no 1945.gada līdz 1991. gadam. Politiskās vajāšanas tiešā veidā skāra ap desmitiem tūkstošu Latvijas iedzīvotāju. Padomju varas pretinieku apkarošana turpinājās arī pēc 2. pasaules kara. Čekas darbības metodes nedaudz mainījās pēc Staļina nāves. Fizisku mocīšanu nomainīja psiholoģisks terors. Vairākums čekas aģentu bija latvieši (52%). Krievi bija otrā lielākā grupa - 23,7 %. 60,3% aģentu nebija Komunistiskās partijas biedri. Augstākā izglītība bija 26,9% aģentu. Sistēma bija veidota, lai iesaistītu vietējos iedzīvotājus un tādējādi panāktu kontroli pār sabiedrību. Čekas darbības metodes Latvijā nav pilnībā izpētītas. Darbinieku saraksti un dienesta lietas atrodas Krievijā. Latvijas varas iestādēm un pētniekiem tās nav pieejamas.

Mūsdienās var aplūkot Latvijas Okupācijas muzeja izstādi par “čekas” darbību Latvijā. Kopā ar gidu var izstaigāt cietuma kameras, gaiteņus, pagrabu un iekšpagalmu.

Atrodas dzejnieces mājvietā, “Dārziņi 1”, Indrānu pagasts, Madonas novads.

Piemiņas vieta un muzejs - ekspozīcija, balss un video ierakstu liecības par Nacionālo pretošanās kustību un dzejnieces darbu, pagrīdē izdodot žurnālu, sacerot dzeju un dziesmas nacionālajiem partizāniem.

Rekonstruētajā klētī ir iekārtota inovatīva, ilgtspējīga piemiņas vieta, kur Dzejas klēts apcirkņos, apliecinot B. Martuževas mūža gaitu, tiek akcentēta arī Nacionālās pretošanās kustība.
B. Martuževa bija iesaistījusies pretošanās kustībā no pašiem tās pirmsākumiem. Martuževu mājas “Lazdiņas” (māja nav saglabājusies) bija patvērums arī LNPA vadītājam Pēterim Supem un viņa biedriem. Te 5 gadus savas mājas pagrīdē slēpās B.Martuževa, tikās ar partizāniem, rakstīja dzejas (arī veltījumus partizāniem: Pēterim Supem, Vilim Tomam, Smilgas grupai, Laiveniekam, Salnam, Celmiņam, Bruno Dunduram u.c.), sacerēja dziesmas un iemācīja tās partizāniem, kuri tās iznesa pa pagastiem - arī tautā zināmo “Jaunība”, kuru vēlāk kā bezsaimnieka mantu paņēma E. Rozenštrauhs.
Tagad viņas dziesmas (arī veltījumus partizāniem) pa pagastiem izdzied grupa “Baltie lāči” – dzejniece savas dziesmas 2009. gadā nodeva Andrim Baltacim, kurš vienmēr ir gatavs pagodināt dzejnieces vārdu pasākumos arī Lubānā. 
Pagrīdē kopā ar Vili Tomu 1950. gadā tika izdots žurnāls “Dzimtene” (11 numuri, kurus ar roku katru 10 eksemplāros pārrakstīja B.Martuževa).
1951. gadā  dzejniece, brālis, māsa, māte un Vilis Toms tika apcietināti, B.Martuževa no Sibīrijas atgriezās 1956.gadā.

Dzejas klēts ir kļuvusi atpazīstama gan novadā, gan Latvijā, to apmeklē gan vietējie iedzīvotāji, t.sk. skolēnu klases, gan individuāli, gan tūrisma grupas. Te ir iespēja ar caur dzejnieces mūža gaitu iepazīties arī Latvijas likteņgaitu, - ne tikai attēlos, bet arī balss un video liecībās. 

Atrodas Pils ielā 12, Cēsīs, netālu no Cēsu pils laukuma.

Vēstures ekspozīcija "Sirdsapziņas ugunskurs" atklāj pārsteidzošus un varonību apliecinošus indivīdu pretošanās stāstus.
Ekspozīcija izveidota padomju laika īslaicīgās aizturēšanas izolatorā un vēsta par Latvijas okupāciju.

1940-tajos gados Latviju divreiz okupēja Padomju Savienība un nacionālsociālistiskā Vācija. Līdz pat 1950-to gadu vidum kādreizējā Cēsu apriņķa iedzīvotāji, tāpat kā viņu laikabiedri citviet Latvijā, aktīvi pretojās totalitārajiem okupācijas režīmiem.

Ekspozīcija sniedz padziļinātu ieskatu vietējās kopienas patriotismā un motivācijā. Laika līnija rosina izzināt Latvijas okupācijas norisi no 1939. līdz 1957. gadam un tematiski sakārtoti citāti no vietējiem laikrakstiem piedāvā salīdzināt abu okupācijas režīmu politisko propagandu.

Īslaicīgajai ieslodzīšanai paredzētās sešas kameras līdz mūsdienām saglabājušas tādas, kādas tās bija 1940./41. gadā un pēckara gados. Šeit, pirms nosūtīšanas uz čekas galveno ēku Rīgā, vairākas dienas, kamēr notika sākotnējā izmeklēšana un pratināšana, bija ieslodzīti tie Cēsu apriņķa iedzīvotāji, kurus aizturēja par visdažādākajām pretpadomju darbības izpausmēm – nacionālie partizāni, viņu atbalstītāji, jaunieši, kuri izplatīja “pretpadomju” satura lapiņas un citi “dzimtenes nodevēji”. Viss šeit ir īsts – kameras ar dzelzs durvīm, kur iebūvētas “kormuškas” (nelielas atveres ēdienu padošanai), koka nāras, ateja arestantiem,  neliela virtuvīte ar krāsni, tipiskais padomju laika eļļas krāsu sienu krāsojums.

2019.gadā ekspozīcija ieguva Latvijas Dizaina gada balvā 3.vietu.

2015. gadā Pils ielas 12 pagalmā atklāja piemiņas sienu ar 643 padomju represijās bojāgājušo agrākā Cēsu apriņķa iedzīvotāju vārdiem – gan 1941. un 1949. gadā izsūtītajiem, gan nošautajiem un ar nāvi sodītajiem nacionālajiem partizāniem.

Otrā pusē ceļam apskatāma Cēsu “Stūra māja” - bijušais čekas nams.

Asub Vaidava Kultuuri- ja Käsitöökeskuses.

Seal on välja pandud ekspositsioon, mis on pühendatud 1949. aasta küüditamiste mälestusele, aga ka riialaste osalemisele 1991. aasta jaanuaribarrikaadidel Riias. Näitusel on näha ka tõendeid maailmasõdadest (peamiselt trükised).

Represseeritute hulka kuulusid alla 1-aastased ja 87-aastased lapsed.

Mälestustahvlile on kirjas ka paguluses mahalastud või hukkunute nimed. Selle kõrval on mälestuskivid Lāčplēsi sõjaordu rüütlitele.

To commemorate the deportations of June 1941 and March 1949, a memorial stone and a four-axle wagon, which also serves as the museum dedicated to deportations, was erected at the Skrunda railway station. This is the first wagon-type museum in Latvia that holds a permanent exhibit of photos, letters, memoirs, documents and various items made by the people deported from the Skrunda station. Skrunda station was a location where deportees were gathered, and one of the three stations in the region to which people from the Skrunda and the Kuldīga area were brought. In 1941, the family of the first President of the restored Republic of Latvia, Guntis Ulmanis, was deported from here to Krasnoyarsk Krai in Siberia.

With the help of deportations, the Soviets dealt with supporters of the national partizans’ and at the same time intimidated the remaining rural population, forcing them to join the collective farms.

Located at Odzienas Street 2, Pļaviņas.

The permanent exposition "Latvian Army in Pļaviņas in the 20th Century" can be seen.

The building in Pļaviņas, Odzienas Street 2, has a long history - from the time when Stukmaņi wholesaler Hugo Apeltofts started active economic activity in it, thus promoting the development of Pļaviņas city, until the headquarters of the Latvian Eastern Front was established here during the War of Independence. In 1919, the activities of Latvian army units against the Red Army in Latgale were commanded directly from Pļaviņas.

In 1934, a memorial plaque was unveiled near this house with the inscription: "In 1919, the headquarters of the Eastern Front was located in this house, and here General Jānis Balodis took over the command of the Latvian National Army." It was removed and destroyed by the Soviets in 1940, but on June 16, 1990, with the support of the LNNK Plavinas branch, it was restored.

Now, next to the former headquarters building, there is a memorial stall dedicated to 15 cavalry of the Lāčplēsis Military Order born in Pļaviņas region. In Pļaviņas, as well as provides an insight into the life stories of the Knights of the Lāčplēsis War Order.

Not far from the exposition building is the Latgale Division headquarters building, which was built in 1913 by Count Teodors Medems as a Stukmaņi liqueur factory. In 1919 it was taken over by the regime of P. Stučka, where it had also established a prison. After the expulsion of the Bolsheviks, in 1925 the building was taken over by the Latvian Army, which housed the headquarters of the Latgale Division. 10 generals and other officers of the Latvian Army spent their military careers in this building. In 1940, the building was taken over by the Red Army. In the post-war years, it housed a school as well as a municipality. Around 1970, the building was started to be used by the production association "Rīgas Apīrsbs".

Das Geschichtsmuseum von Jēkabpils befindet sich im Schloss Krustpils. 1940, nach der Aufnahme Lettlands in die UdSSR, befand sich die 126. Schützendivision im Schloss Krustpils. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs beherbergte das Schloss ein deutsches Lazarett und ab August 1944 ein Lazarett der Roten Armee. Nach dem Krieg wurde das Schloss Krustpils mit den angrenzenden Gutsgebäuden von den zentralen Lagern des 16. Fernaufklärungsfliegerregiments und der 15. Luftarmee der Sowjetarmee besetzt.

Das Stadtmuseum Alūksne befindet sich im Neuen Schloss von Alūksne, einem Architekturdenkmal von nationaler Bedeutung, das Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts im neogotischen Stil erbaut wurde. Das Museum verfügt unter anderem über einen den Opfern des Totalitarismus gewidmeten Gedenkraum, in dem die Schicksale der Bewohner der Region Alūksne in Sibirien und im Fernen Osten dokumentiert werden sowie die historische Ausstellung „Fest der Zeitalter“, die thematisch den Zeitraum von der Urgeschichte bis in die Gegenwart abdeckt. Dabei ist dem Beitrag des 7. Infanterieregiments Sigulda zum militärischen, kulturellen und gesellschaftlichen Leben der Region eine besondere Abteilung gewidmet. Das 7. Infanterieregiment Sigulda wurde ab dem 20. Juni 1919 auf dem Gut Naukšēni zusammengestellt. Zunächst wurde eine Kampfgruppe bestehend aus 22 Offizieren und 1580 Soldaten aus dem Reservebataillon der Nordlettischen Brigade gebildet, genannt: Abteilung Dankers. Diese wurde zunächst in das 2. Bataillon des 3. Regiments Jelgava eingegliedert, am 23. August aber, mit der Aufstellung weiterer Kompanien, in das 7. Infanterieregiment Sigulda integriert. Die Einheiten nahmen 1919 an den Kämpfen gegen die Bermondt-Truppen teil und wurden am 5. Januar 1920 an die Front nach Latgale in den Kampf gegen die Bolschewiken geschickt. Nach Abschluss des Friedensvertrages mit Sowjetrussland wurde das Regiment zum Schutz der Ostgrenze Lettlands eingesetzt. Mehr als 200 Soldaten des Regiments ließen im lettischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg ihr Leben, 85 wurden mit dem Lāčplēsis-Orden für militärische Verdienste geehrt. 1921 wurde das 7. Infanterieregiment Sigulda in Alūksne stationiert. Das Neue Schloss von Alūksne diente damals als Hauptquartier des Regiments. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg übernahmen sowjetische Sicherheitsbehörden das Schloss. Ab Ende der 1950er Jahre beherbergte das Schloss verschiedene Kultureinrichtungen: die Kultur- und Kinofizierungsabteilung des Exekutivkomitees, den Pionierpalast, die Bibliothek, ein Kino und das Museum.

Asub "Daiņkalni", Rauna vallas, Rauna linnaosas (Smiltene linnaosa, Brantu valla "Mežviju" maja lähedal.

Mälestuspaigale pääseb vaid korra aastas - 16. aprillil! Tee viib läbi eravalduse.

Mälestuspaik asub Rauna vallas endiste “Daiņkalni” ja “Graškalni” majade kohas, mille all varjus 1950. aastast kuni 1950. aastani loodud punkrites rahvuspartisanide rühm, mida juhtis Dailonis Breiks (hüüdnimi Edgars, 1911-1952). 1952. aastal. D.Breiksi rahvuspartisanide rühmitus loodi 1948. aastal ja kuni 1950. aastani elasid nad Gatarta kihelkonnas "Jaunvieslavēnis" koos peremehe Kārlis Lāčsiga. 1950. aastal andis D.Brixise partisanide rühma tema enda vend Laimonis üle, mistõttu nad olid sunnitud kolima. Suviti elati metsas, talved aga Rauna vallas “Daiņkalnis” metsnik Artūrs Pērkonsi (1907-1952) juures ja kõrval asuvates maja alla rajatud “Graškalni” punkrites.

Alates 2002. aastast on Daiņkalnsi mälestuspaika järk-järgult täiustatud. Igal aastal 16. aprillil toimuvad mälestusüritused, millega mälestatakse Dailonis Breiksi juhitud rahvuspartisanid. 2003. ja 2004. aasta aprillis püstitati Daiņkalni ja Graškalni majade juurde mälestusristid ja -tahvlid. 2016. aasta sügisel - 2017. aasta kevadel rekonstrueeriti kohalike raunēnlaste abiga mälestuspaik arhitekt Z.Butānsi eskiisi järgi, samuti kaevati välja ja tugevdati endise punkri asukoht.

See asub Drustu luteri kiriku lähedal.

Monument avati 19. juunil 1932. aastal.

14. juunil 1931 pandi ausamba aluskivi, millel on tekst "Sajad aastad tulevad ja lähevad, kangelased ohverdavad end isaduse nimel". Selle alla on põimitud tsingitud plekk-kapsel mälestuskirjaga, millele on alla kirjutanud tollane staabiülem kindral Aleksanders Kalējs, langenud sõdurite vanemad ja teised tseremoonia aukülalised.

Kommunistliku okupatsiooni ajal saki all olev tekst tsementeeriti, pronksist sakk aga peideti koguduseliikmete poolt ära. Kui ärkamine algas, puhastasid kohalikud Läti Rahvarinde aktivistid sildi ja asetasid säilinud saki oma kohale.

Selgunud on 41 Esimeses maailmasõjas ja Läti Vabadussõjas hukkunud Drustu koguduse liiget.

Kiriku seina niššidesse on paigutatud kommunistliku terrori ohvrite mälestustahvlid – tammesse raiutud 58 drusteni ja gatartlase nimega – inimeste nimed, kelle hauad on teadmata.

The graves of soldiers of Ruben's battalion are located by the highway Kuldīga - Sabile. A road sign and a stone with the inscription "For Your Land and Freedom" are located just a few hundred meters from the road.

The battalion of Lieutenant Robert Rubenis was one of the parts of the military unit formed by General Jānis Kurelis, which did not surrender to the German troops and showed fierce German resistance. During the Usma period, the numerical composition of the battalion increased to 650 men with four fully equipped companies, an ambulance and a farm team. Commanding staff: lieutenant R. Rubenis, lieutenant Filipsons, vv A. Druviņš, vv Šults, vv Briedis, vv. sergeant J. Rubenis, J. Bergs, vv Jaunzems.

From November 14 to December 9, 1944, fierce battles took place in the parishes of Ugāle, Usma, Renda and Zlēki between units of the German 16th Army, SD and SS units under the command of police general Friedrich Jekeln and a separate battalion of the Kurelian unit commanded by lieutenant Roberts Rubenis. Around 250 German soldiers were killed in the battles near Renda and Zleki, while the losses of the Rubenes were around 50 people.

After the death of Lieutenant Rubenis, Druviņš announced to his men that he would continue to work on a voluntary basis and as a result, several dozen men made the decision to separate from Rubenis' battalion. On November 20-21, 1944, a group of 11 people was captured by a German SD unit and after interrogations they took them to the local forest and shot them.

FOR THE NATIONAL PARTISANS
I AM BACK AMONG YOU IN LAUNDRY
BECAUSE IT WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE IT WOULD GO
IN YOUR PARISH AND ON THE WAYS OF YOUR ANCESTORS
EXPECT ME BACK
The year numbers (1945 - 1953) and the names of 36 fallen partisans are engraved on the granite slab at the foot of the monument.

On February 23, 1946, a bloody battle took place in the parish of Tārgale near Vārnuvalkas between the group of Latvian national partisans led by commander Brīvnieks at their camp site and the fighter division of the Soviet occupation army. Six partisans died in the battle, and the local residents secretly buried them right there in the forest. Later, two more shot dead were buried there without trial and verdict. Locally, this corner of the forest was called the Dzelzkalns graves, which for many years only experts knew how to find - by the sign of the cross in the fir tree.
A monument to the memory of the national partisans has been installed in the cemetery. Names engraved in stone for partisans who worked in the Puze-Pilten partisan group. There is also a memorial stone for Lieutenant Robert Ruben next to it.
In the summer of 1989, the members of the Ugāle branch of the LNNK in the Dezkalni area of Zūru meža placed birch crosses on the national burial place of the Puzes-Piltenes group who fell on February 23, 1946, and searched for the relatives of the fallen in Latvia and abroad.
On April 27, 1991, with the participation of relatives of the fallen, representatives of national organizations from several countries, the graves were consecrated by theology professor Roberts Akmentiņš, and they were named the graves of the Iron Brothers.
On June 20, 1992, a monument dedicated by August Adler was opened in the cemetery. The monument was made by Kārlis Stepans according to the design planned by the LNNK Ugāle branch with minor modifications. The expenses were covered by a few people. The monument was installed and the foundations were created by guards of the Ventspils Guards Regiment, members of LNNK and LDV Ugāle branches. The text is engraved in the upper part of the monument:

In Liepāja, the militia, the institution of the communist occupation regime, was located in Republikas Street 19, a building that had been in use since its construction in the 20th century. in the beginning, people from Liepāja called it the "Blue Miracle". On the other hand, the headquarters of the check was located at Toma Street 19. Shortly after the occupation, it acquired the name "Red Miracle" in society.

In the course of investigating the crimes of the communist regime so far, it has been established that no executions or extrajudicial shootings have taken place either directly in the Liepaja Cheka building, i.e. in the "Red Miracle", or in the prison. Due to the start of the war on the territory of Latvia, all the detainees who were in these places were transferred to prisons in Russia starting from June 23, 1941. This affected both detainees who were arrested for so-called "political" crimes and criminal criminals, regardless of whether the person was under investigation or had already received a sentence.

The transfer of the prisoners was determined by the order No. 2455/M of the People's Commissar of State Security of the USSR Vsevolod Merkulov of June 23, 1941, which was addressed to the chiefs of the NKGB of the Latvian SSR, the Estonian SSR and several regions of the Ukrainian SSR. The reason for the shooting was terrible and tragic – it was no longer possible to transfer the detainees to Russia, but they could not be left alive. As a result, extrajudicial shootings of residents took place in Liepāja during the war, similarly to the cases in Riga Central Prison, Valmiera Prison, Valka and Rēzekne militias, and on the Croix Hill near Ludza. The mentioned crime took place in the "Blue Miracle" - Liepāja militia building, Republikas Street 19.

The Forest Brothers’ Bunker is located by the Riga-Pskov (A2) highway 76 kilometres from Riga and 11 kilometres from Cēsis. The Latvian national partisans or Forest Brothers were small, armed groups of local residents who fought their independent battles against the occupation regime of the USSR in the territory of Latvia from 1944 to 1956. Forced to hide in the forests, these were people who could not or did not want to live in the Soviet Union. A total of around 20,193 Forest Brothers operated in Latvia. The bunker was formed based on the stories and memories of former Forest Brothers about life in the forests, hiding and fighting for the independent state of Latvia after 1945. The bunker showcases armaments and household items. The personal belongings, weapons and photos of partisans are on display. The guide’s narration is enriched by a video from interviews with Forest Brothers. There is a place for picnic campfires by the bunker. It is possible to pre-order a soup prepared on the fire or enjoy an evening of outdoor cinema by the fire.

The exhibit is located in the former culture house of Aizkraukle parish. It reflects the everyday social, recreational, professional, educational and cultural life in Soviet times, as well as the history of how Aizkraukle (during Soviet times – Stučka) and the Pļaviņu HPP came to be. Visitors can view the ‘Red Corner’ with its historical propaganda materials, the office of a party functionary and a typical Soviet apartment with a living room, kitchen, bathroom and toilet and their corresponding attributes. Some rooms are dedicated to Soviet medicine, tourism and sports as well as repression tactics. There is a spacious hall in the centre of the exhibit for Soviet-made vehicles. This was started in 2016 by the Aizkraukle History and Art Museum by setting up the exhibit on three floors. Nowadays it is the largest exhibit in the Baltics dedicated to this period of Soviet occupation.

Мемориальное место возле Аглонской католической гимназии, где 22 августа 1941 года нацисты расстреляли 544 пациента Даугавпилсской психиатрической больницы, а также 48 детей из детского дома Гривас. Все упомянутые были перевезены из Даугавпилса в Аглону, где их поместили в помещения католической гимназии до тех пор, пока они не были убиты. Расстрелянных захоронили в двух ямах.

Это убийство, как и убийство окрестных евреев, публично осудил в своих проповедях настоятель Аглоны священник Алоис Брок (1898–1943). По этой причине он был арестован нацистскими властями 30 декабря 1941 года. Через три месяца А. Брока освободили, но 25 мая 1942 г. его снова арестовали. А. Брок умер 28 апреля 1944 года в концентрационном лагере в Нойенгаммаме (Германия) или Маутхаузене (Австрия).

На мемориальном месте находятся надгробия и распятие с памятной доской на латышском и русском языках.

Мемориальная доска на территории бывшей Резекненской тюрьмы, открытая в 1965 году. Посвящается тридцати мужчинам из села Аудрини Макашенской волости, публично расстрелянным в этом месте 4 января 1942 года. На пластине выгравированы имена 30 расстрелянных.

Незадолго до этого выяснилось, что в селе Аудрини скрываются сбежавшие военнопленные Красной Армии. В вооруженных столкновениях, возникших при их захвате, погибли 4 сотрудника вспомогательной полиции. Нацистские оккупационные власти в отместку за инцидент приказали убить всех жителей Аудрини и сжечь деревню. Публичная казнь в Резекне была частью кампании мести.

In August 2004, a Holocaust Memorial was opened on Cēsu Street in Preiļi. The architect was Sergejs Rižs, and the author and financier of the idea was David Zilbermanis, a local resident living in the United States. The memorial is located in the area between the graves of Jewish citizens and the shooting pits of Jewish residents.

The first Jews arrived in Preiļi at the beginning of the 19th century, when the town of Preiļi began to form. According to the 1935 census, out of 1,662 residents of Preiļi, 847 (51%) were Jews. Most of them were merchants, craftsmen, as well as intelligentsia – doctors and teachers.

When the German Nazi army entered on July 28, 1941, more than 720 Jews from Preiļi and the surrounding area were exterminated on August 9 and 10. After the war, some Jews returned to Preiļi, but the community was never restored.

In 2013 and 2014, students of the German youth association LOT and its leader Klaus Peter Rex carried out clean-up and monument cleaning work at the Jewish citizens' cemetery. A map of the cemetery was drawn up. In 2015, at the initiative of David Zilbermanis, with his funding and donations, a memorial arch was opened for the Jewish community in Preili, at the entrance to the Jewish citizens' cemetery, on the way to the Holocaust Memorial.

In 2018, the Preiļi Memorial Society (chairman Sergejs Rižs) conducted excavation work at the site of the killing of Jews next to the cemetery of Jewish citizens. Three pits were discovered. After conservation, the material evidence can be viewed in the main exhibition of the Preiļi History and Applied Arts Museum at Raina Boulevard 28. Museum specialists offer visitors the educational program “Thinking about the Holocaust means thinking about yourself.” The program begins in the museum exhibition and ends at the Holocaust Victims Memorial. The memorial, together with the cemetery, is used to educate the public as an open-air museum.

The monument to the politically repressed in Preiļi is located in the square at the gates of the Roman Catholic Church and was unveiled on August 22, 1993. The monument was created by sculptor Vija Dzintare. The monument depicts a grieving woman kneeling and covering the deceased with a blanket. The words of the poet Kārlis Skalbe are carved into the stone next to the monument:

Many martyrs were chosen
To you, my little Fatherland,
Who, along with the mother's name, is holy
Whisper in the hour of pain: "Latvia!"

Since it was at this very place in the 1940s that the Soviet occupation authorities had displayed the remains of national partisans who had been shot for public viewing as a way to intimidate the population, the memorial site was supplemented in 2018. Two boulders were placed next to the monument, symbolizing the memory of the national partisans. The boulders were created by sculptor Ivo Folkmanis. One of them is engraved with the logo of the Preiļi Politically Repressed Society “Path of Fate”, and the other with the inscription “In memory of the fallen members of the National Resistance Movement”.

Every year, memorial services for the victims of political repression are held here on March 25 and June 14.
