INTRODUCTION
A small number of Jews survived
the Holocaust in Latvia with the aid of brave and compassionate Latvians
who risked death to hide them. Indeed, several were found harboring Jews
and killed along with those they hid.
Here are names of Latvians who
hid Jews during the Holocaust. Unfortunately the names of some will never
be known. The humanity and courage of each of these heroes must not be
forgotten.

Survived Rumbuli
By Frida Michelson
U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Shop Memorial Council, February 1982.
Frida Michelson, as only one of two to survive, felt G-d chose her as
a
witness. Frida Michelson’s riveting story details the horrors she
experienced and
describes her survival of the actions at Rumbula. It goes on to tell of
her survival of years of Nazi occupation with the aid of a series of righteous
Latvians, a number of whom were Seventh Day Adventists.
A limited number of copies of
the paperback edition are in stock at the US
Holocaust Memorial Museum Bookstore and is also widely available from
sellers of used books and libraries.
