In world war 2, Latvia was occupied. 7020 Latvians were in Russian hands. There were 404 women, 17 children and 172 seniors. The rest were shot in their heads. The people who weren't shot, they were supposed to go in dirty, smelly animal train. They were send to Siberia's camp's.

In my family only my grandfather was send to Siberia's camp's. He said, that there were very cold, he had almost nothing to eat and was very hard. We are very lucky… Our grandfather returned, because not everyone go back. There were lot of people who (unfortunately) were dead in Siberia.
