The Russians Invade

When the Russians invaded and occupied Riga from June 1940 to July 1941, the Jewish citizens welcomed them with open arms. The Jews who lived in Riga for centuries soon became the NKVD's right arm. Sleeper cells, who laid dormant for years, soon awoke and quickly turned on life long neighbors.

Anyone with power, wealth or possessions were turned in as anti communists. There were 35,000 Christians deported to Siberia, and naturally their positions, wealth, and possessions were claimed by the local Jews.

The Germans Invade

The Germans captured Riga in July of 1941. The Riga townspeople suddenly realized what the Russia people went through for the last twenty years. In this film clip below the Jews are forced out of their comfy ghettos, and made to bury the dead, and clean up the rubble from the Russian battle. In the final scene you see the white Latvians kicking the traitorous Jews in the ass.
