Abstract:
Searchable database of the names of Jewish victims of the Holocaust from Latvia by region, city, town or village.
Research Note: Please note well that access to this project's actual database entries for individuals begins with the choice of a specific surname from alphabetical rosters beginning at http://names.lu.lv/cgi-bin/muster?lang=en&letter=A. This then provides access to a database search form for that surname spelling (which one may modify or change in the search form if desired), but wherein one MUST then choose a single city, region or town parameter in the search form's "Prewar Residence" section from among either a roster of "city dweller" options or from four city, town and village rosters for the regions Kurzeme, Latgale, Vidzeme or Zemgale. Each of the regional town roster sections offers a "whatever" (i.e. "any") option to search for a surname throughout all towns and villages in that region. This locality search parameter is apparently required, and one cannot simply search by surname alone.
