To better understand some of the more recent and unpleasant history of Latvia, stop by this memorial located outside of Riga. Erected on the site of a prison and labor correction camp during the Nazi occupation of 1941-45, this moving location highlights the atrocities suffered by Latvians as well as those from neighbouring countries. Admission is free and you will also find extensive information and an exhibit within the grounds, along with a number of cemeteries in the surrounding forest. #free #memorial #warmemorial #history #worldwar2 #latvia #europe #baltic #balticroadtrip #salaspils
