Memories and Research in History of Daugavpils Ghetto
The Daugavpils ghetto existed from July 15, 1941 to October 28, 1943. More than 13,000 Jews passed through the ghetto gates. A little more than 100 survived. In the ghetto there were, like the Jews of Daugavpils and the surrounding area, small towns and townships of Latgale, as well as several thousand Jews from Lithuania. About ten former prisoners left diaries and memories of the terrible days, which are published and have survived to this day. Later, the works of historians and local historians about the history of the Daugavpils ghetto appeared. The author conditionally divided the works: first, written in the West and the United States, second, in the USSR, and third, in the Republic of Latvia. Such a comprehensive approach includes an ideological justification, preserves the chronology, place and language of the publication. The totality of all these works is the object of the study.
