The Jelgava massacres were the killing of the Jewish population of the Jews of the city of Jelgava, Latvia that occurred in the second half of July or in early August 1941. The murders were carried out by German police units under the command of Alfred Becu, with a significant contribution by Latvian auxiliary police organized by Mārtiņš Vagulāns. ==Background== Jelgava is a town in Latvia, about 50 kilometers south of Riga. Jelgava was once the capital of the Duchy of Kurland〔Kaufmann, ''The Destruction of the Jews of Latvia'', at page 111〕 until that semi-independent state was taken over by the Russian empire in 1795. It is the principal city in the Latvian region of Zemgale, one of the four major regions of the country. The German name for Jelgava is Mitau.〔Ezergailis, ''The Holocaust in Latvia'', at page 128〕 Jews began settling in Jelgava in the early 16th century, which was the start of the Jewish presence in Latvia.〔, Ezergailis, ''The Holocaust in Latvia'', at page 59.〕 Many leaders of the Zionist movement came from Jelgava.〔
