Support Jewish Latvia

INTRODUCTION

When most of Latvia's Jews were murdered in the Holocaust, a rich tapestry of Jewish life was destroyed. Jewish life in Latvia continues today and is being renewed with assistance from abroad. Here are ways to support these efforts.

JEWISH SURVIVORS OF LATVIA - PHILANTHROPIC PROGRAMS

The Jewish Survivors of Latvia provides support to Jewish causes in Latvia including Holocaust survivors and the hungry. The organization also has helped fund the construction of memorials, such as the new Rumbula Forest Memorial.

Membership is $25/year and is open to survivors and their descendants who - in fact - are also survivors of the Holocaust in Latvia. For more information please contact Steven Springfield.

Contributions are tax deductible and may be sent to:
