"Beginning of the 1941 Terror Against the Jews in Riga Latvia"

Excellent presentation, I enjoyed it immensely. My friends mother is Jewish and had relatives that were victims of the atrocities that took place. I loan her the disc so that she may view it. I found the CD with text to be a fantastic method for conveying the message and information. I had no trouble opening and viewing the disc. Timing was great and the ability to pause and read is great. You have a winner on your hands. Thank you for sharing it with me.

Excellent work I think that these are very informative and will be cherished by those affected by the cruelty and hardship pushed onto these peoples. For me, I would have liked to have seen more footnotes (or in picture notes) so I could better understand many of the photos and their significance. I was, however, very impressed. Music was appropriate and good. Photo timing was great and went well with the music. A very well laid out presentation.

Russian Orthodox Cathedral suffered during both World Wars, it was renovated afterwards. The greatest damage by Soviets was in the 60s when Moscow Minister of Culture didn't like the sight of the church on the other side of the street from the government building.The church was closed.It was not pulled down thanks to rebuilding it into a planetarium.There are also Latvians of Russian Orthodox belief. One of them - Feldmanis in Germany restored the crosses in the 90s.
