The third Lo Tishkach regional survey in Latvia is due to be published in the coming days. Students and Jewish youth surveyed 36 cemetery and mass grave sites in the western region of Kurzeme during the spring and summer. While many of these sites have received the necessary protection in recent years, many other sites still suffer from lack of demarcation and general neglect. The report on Kurzeme represents the third of its kind in Latvia and follow on from ground-breaking reports produced by Lo Tishkach this year on the Vidzeme and Zemgale regions. The final Latvian report on the Latgale region will be produced in the coming weeks bringing to a close a vast two-year project surveying all the burial grounds in the country.
