Latvia in the World War II

In the beginning of the World War II Latvia had lost state independence, the occupation authority has been changed tree times – at the beginning Soviet, then German, then again Soviet occupation regime. Latvians had been compelled to fight on the both sides – among Hitler Germany solders as well as among Soviet Red army troopers.

The exposition’ authors do not speak about the right side, contrary – visitor is instigated to make a suggestion that both sides have not been right.

A Human is a main exhibit in both these exhibition rooms. All the rest – weapons, documents, modern exposition design - is just an addition to the main – to the Human. Photos of hunger died soviet army soldiers-prisoner in the camps as well as judged for execution Jewish women are just shocking in their laconism. There are boys with confused faces called into Red army, in front of them – new solders of Latvian legion with modern hear styling and brave glances. They are commemorated on photos forever.
