The Salaspils Memorial Ensemble was created in the place where National Socialistic Germany had a police prison and labour correctional camp (from 1941 to 1945). This beautiful memorial site was open in 1967 (Soviet days) as the Soviet Union politics were concentrating on hiding the bad moves of J.Stalin and instead wanted to show to the world the bad stuff done by Nazis. The memorial creates a symbol of the border between life and death with a 100 metre-long concrete wall, on which is written – “Beyond these gates the land groans”. There are also seven concrete sculptures: “Mother”, “The Unbroken”, “The humuliated”, “Protest”, “Red Front”, “Solidarity”,“The Oath”. A beautiful addition to the memorial - indoors exhibition open for visitors to learn from written materials, photos and also video materials where you'll see older people sharing their memories about how they managed to escape or skip the camp.

We were delighted to be picked up from the gate where our ship docked. We were transported to the site and given information about the city of Riga and the Salaspils memorial site. We also had plenty of time left after our site visit so we were treated to a drive around the city and we were dropped of down town. Would recommend this company and this site to others interested in Riga's History. Its not a place that would usually be on a tour.

Outstanding tour if you have an interest in WWII history. Krista is very pleasant and is an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable about the camp at Salaspils, but also provided a lot of insight about Soviet Union times in Latvia. In addition, she provided us with suggestions of other sights to visit in Latvia, which we did and thoroughly enjoyed. To my surprise, there was too much to see in this beautiful country for the short time we were there. Definitely plan to return, and will definitely book another tour with Krista!
