Latvian women join parading German soldiers as they march into Riga, 1941

When the Nazis seized Latvia, which had been previously occupied by the Soviet Union, some locals celebrated. Phoebe McDougal of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum explains the history of why this happened.
IranWire’s Photos That Define the Holocaust series reviews photographs, chosen by United States Holocaust Memorial Museum historians, staff, and Youth Ambassadors. Each photo tells a unique story of the Holocaust. Some depict daily life for Jews during the Second World War, some expose antisemitic Nazi propaganda, while others show instances of clandestine documentation of Nazi persecution. The videos also demonstrate how photographs can be used to understand the past, humanize historical events, and honor victims.
