Les Juifs de Riga

Riga, capital of Latvia, harbored an influential Jewish community, blending Germanized Jews oriented toward German culture and Litvaks from the Lithuanian tradition. Its members were active in commerce, industry, liberal professions and intellectual life, and the city counted synagogues, schools and diverse Jewish political life, from Zionism to the labor movement. During the German occupation, the community was confined to a ghetto, and a large part of its members was massacred in 1941 in Rumbula Forest. The rare survivors emigrated after the war, notably to Israel.
