Nowadays the memorial in the shape of the Star of David with a Menorah in the centre invites people to commemorate the tragic fate of the Jews.Don’t miss Salaspils Memorial Ensemble, the former Nazi labour camp, with gigantic Soviet-style sculptures and an inscription on the concrete wall “The earth moans beyond these gates“. This incredibly peaceful place surrounded by thick forests used to be the site of experiments, exploitation and death.
