Viktors Arājs
Viktors Arājs (13 January 1910 – 13 January 1988) was a Latvian collaborator and Nazi SS officer, who took part in the Holocaust during the German occupation of Latvia and Belarus (then called White Russia or White Ruthenia) as the leader of the Arājs Kommando. The Arajs Kommando murdered about half of Latvia's Jews.〔 Klee, ''Das Personenlexicon zum Dritten Reich'', at page 18〕
== Life ==
Viktors Bernhard Arājs was born on 13 January 1910 in the town of Baldone, then part of the tsarist empire. His father was a Latvian blacksmith and his mother came from a wealthy family of Baltic Germans. Arājs attended Jelgava Gymnasium, which he left in 1930 for mandatory national defense service in the Latvian Army. In 1932, Arājs studied law at the University of Latvia in Riga, but never completed his degree. He was a member of the elite student fraternity "Lettonia", which may have helped him get a job with the Latvian police after he left the university. Arājs remained with the Latvian police until he was promoted to police lieutenant.〔Lumans, ''Latvia in World War II'', at page 239.〕 During the Ulmanis dictatorship in Latvia 1934–1940, Arājs was a "low ranking provincial police officer" who, as a loyal administrator, dutifully "distanced himself officially from the Pērkonkrusts", the Fascist party in Latvia.〔Literally, "thunder -cross" or swastika)〕〔 Marģers Vestermanis (Leiter des Museum „Juden in Lettland“ in Riga): ''(Rezension zu "Der Tod des Henkers von Riga" )''.
