Thanks you Alison. Fortunately, now Latvia is part of the EU and welcomes visitors. We are going back soon. I am glad you had time to read my piece which was 'a bit' over the word limit! Part 2 coming soon to my Substack.
Finally making time to read through the many posts on this prompt... and so glad I have! I thoroughly enjoyed this. When I was young, I had a Latvian landlord... who was one of those young men recruited by Nazis. Painful memories there. He and I spent many hours talking about history--though he never told me about his particular role--someone else did. He grew up in Riga. Thank you for this!
