More to Learn About Overlooked Holocaust Atrocity in Latvia: 70th Anniversary of Rumbula on December 8

Preferisci Informazione.News su Google

Although historians consider Rumbula the second-largest mass shooting of its kind, after Babi Yar in the Ukraine, the horror in Latvia has remained obscure. Yet, Moshe Arens, former foreign minister of Israel, who lived in Riga as a boy, has remarked, this time of year "my thoughts...turn to the killing fields in Latvia, Rumbula..."

Who attends these events? Descendants of survivors, relatives of the murdered, and a handful of elderly survivors themselves, estimated to number no more than 140 worldwide.

In commemoration of this 70th anniversary, the documentary's website, http://www.RumbulasEcho.org, features a 93-second clip of three Holocaust survivors describing the forced march to Rumbula.

Rumbula's Echo is being produced by TV and documentary veterans, advised by the world's five leading historians on the Holocaust in Latvia, through the non-profit educational media organization, Luminescence Media Group, which in 2002 launched the respected educational website, http://www.Rumbula.org.
