Daugavpils Ghetto : ウィキペディア英語版 | Daugavpils Ghetto
Following the occupation of Latvia by Nazi Germany in the summer of 1941, the Daugavpils Ghetto ((ドイツ語:Ghetto Dünaburg)) was established in an old fortress near Daugavpils. Daugavpils is the second largest city in Latvia and the principal city of the Latgalia region. Daugavpils was located in southeastern Latvia on the Daugava River. The city was militarily important as a major road and railway junction. Before World War II, Daugavpils was the center of a thriving Jewish community in the Latgale region and one of the most important centers of Jewish culture in eastern Europe.〔Ezergailis, ''The Holocaust in Latvia'', pages 90 to 91.〕 Over the course of the German occupation of Latvia, the vast majority of the Jews of Latgale were killed as a result of the Nazi extermination policy. == Nomenclature == The city of Daugavpils is also known by the Russian name of Dvinsk〔Iwens, ''How Dark the Heavens'', page 19〕 and the German name of Dünaburg. Many of the killings associated with the ghetto occurred in the nearby Pagulanka forest, which is also seen spelled as Polulanka and Pogulianski. Although known as a "ghetto", this old fortress was converted into a prison to hold Jews on a temporary basis before they were killed in the Pagulanka forest.〔Ezergailis, ''The Holocaust in Latvia'', page 278.〕 Similar places in Latvia were called "concentration camps".〔
