Reviews from visitors:
The Latvian Holocaust Museum is a short 5 minute walk from Riga Central Market. The area is not as beautifully restored as Old Town Riga, so it’s an interesting alternative view of the city.
The museum attempts to showcase life for Latvian Jews before and during the Holocaust.
The cobblestone entry into the Latvian Holocaust Museum is made from the same cobblestone of Ludzas Iela; the main street of the Riga Ghetto. It’s definitely a sobering way to begin your visit.
A train car and a large wall to the right will be the first thing you see. On one side of the wall, pay homage to the 70,000 people who died in Latvia during the Holocaust, each person is listed by name. On the other side, the story of the Holocaust in Latvia is displayed.
All museums are Incredibles to visit.
In this museum you can get in the part of the train and feel what they felt at that time.
Besides they have another exposition inside where there are holding boxes with information about people that were captured and killed, it's interesting because the information also tells about their jobs and lifes
Close to the entrance there is a house with two floors, in the first one there are small models of mosques in Latvia and in the second floor two rooms with the decorations of what was the house
It's worth to visit because Holocaust was in many countries and each country has their own history.
I arrived 20 min before closing so didn't get to see it all. Looked like a full tour would have been informative. But how can you really rate a subject like the Holocaust.
Its free, its near and best of all there is alot of pictures and info about the ghetto.
Yeah yeah yeah, we know. 6 million people were killed. 80 Years ago. This museum is yet another Monument to that. Although this is more of an art installation with the obligated wall of names. Nothing to see. Nothing to do. Nothing to learn.
