About this cemetery
The Rumbula Memorial marks the mass grave in Rumbula forest near Riga, Latvia, where about 25,000 Jews were murdered on 30 November and 8 December 1941. Most of the victims were Latvian Jews from the Riga ghetto, and Jews deported from Germany were also killed there. The memorial, designed by Sergey Ryzh, opened on 29 November 2002 and centres on a large Menorah above a field in the shape of the Star of David.
