My name is Victoria Shaldova, I am an executive director of Jewish community "Shamir", Riga, Latvia.

Activity of "Shamir" is aimed to commemorating the memory of Latvian Jews. The most significant project of us is Latvian Jewish Encyclopedia, which gathers information about all the Jews, connected to Latvia. It will be a memorial for the Latvian Jews, which do not exist now. We have gathered already more than 1500 biographic and thematic entries and it is a half of the proposed amount.

Now we are looking for additional information about Jews, born or anyway connected to Latvia and living abroad. If you have information about such people, could you pass the information to them?

 All the information will be included into the  Latvian Jewish Encyclopedia.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon,

thank you in advance,

Victoria Shaldova
