Hundreds of people marched across the territory of a former Riga ghetto, Friday, in remembrance of the victims of the Holocaust. Wreaths were laid at the Great Choral Synagogue Memorial as a tribute to those who lost their lives. The March for Life 2015 was organised by the Shamir Religious Community and the Council of Jewish Communities of Germany and was attended by Latvian President Andris Berzins, Parliament Speaker Inara Murniece and Prime Minister of Latvia Laimdota Straujuma, who lay wreaths at the memorial. The memorial remembers the synagogue which was burned down at the very same spot during WWII with some 300 people inside. Over 70,000 Jews were killed in Nazi-occupied Latvia from 1941 to 1945.
