85 years ago today, during the first Soviet-Russian occupation of Latvia, we remember the communist red terror of June 14th 1941, when KGB agents and soldiers murdered and tortured hundreds of innocent Latvians and tore over 15,400 men, women, children, and babies from their homes in the middle of the night forcing them on train cattle cars bound for concentration camps in Siberia. Many of the old, children, and the weak would die of disease and hunger during the 2 month journey to Siberia@, receiving little to no food or water, their corpses thrown from the cattle cars during the journey. Many others would die in the harsh conditions of the concentration camps never to return. Today at the Indianapolis Latvian Lutheran Church service at the Latvian Community Center we remember all of those who perished. Unfortunately it was only a foreshadowing of terror Latvians would experience during the next 50 years of Soviet- Russian occupation.

Jelgava Palace's impressive and historic walls hold stories from nobility, love, wars and destruction, just to be razed from the ashes and reborn. The family vault of the Dukes of Courland in Jelgava Palace is the largest burial of this kind in Latvia and it is one of the few burials of governors‘ dynasties in the world which is open to the public. The burial consists of 21 metal sarcophagi and 9 wooden coffins with 24 members of the Kettler dynasty and 6 members of the Biron dynasty buried between 1569 and 1791. 📷 Raitis Miksons
