Museum "Jews in Latvia"

Interesting and free museum about the history of the Jewish people in Latvia. Offers a lot of information and insight. The visit includes a free audio tour which is very elaborate. Would recommend.

Its a small museum. The main gallery exhibits Jewish life in Riga and Latvia before it was exterminated. The Holocaust exhibition in the next room is very moving. There is a read diary of a girl that describes her experiences during June and July 1941, just as the Germans entered. In only a few months about 90,000 Jews were murdered in Latvia.

Excellent source of information on the holocaust in Latvia as well as Jewish life and people if pre-WWII. Audio explanations in English, Russian, and Latvian.
Numerous photos and artifacts, even German film footage of the atrocities.

For Latvia's small Jewish community this museum has quite a sizeable exhibit. Rīga was once a haven of Jewish cultural tradition due to it's large Jewish population. Mostly decimated during the Holocaust, Rīga's Jewish population is seeing a slow resurrgence in recent years. This museum was pleasure to visit, rich in history. As expected a large section was dedicated to Latvia's Holocaust years, including the notable people who saved the lives of Jews during WWII.

The museum is devoted to Jewish culture, tradions, different famous Jewish persons and express the Holocaut time.
Holocaut time exhibition had very hard atmosphere, you can find photos and some belongings of peoples.
At the same floor where is located the museum is reachable amazing hall, where we enjoyed the concert at Museum Night 2019.
During the museum night we had pleasure to participate in Jewish dance and it was AWESOME. Music was pleasant, fast and dancer teachers high professionals.
If you want to learn the Jewish dances, then each Wednesday at 6.00 p.m. you are welcome to join the dancers club.
I highly reccomend!!!

Do they have a section on jewish bolsheviks that murdered millions of people?

Reading/ Listening heavy Museum but worth a visit.

It’s a very small museum, but totally worth visiting. Be sure to take free audio in English (or maybe they have one in your
language) and go around.
