Religion Unplugged Senior Contributor Robert Carle speaks with Latvia's Israeli Ambassador Sharon Palgi about Latvia's painful history of Nazi and Soviet occupation. Following Germany's invasion of Latvia in June 1941, 85,000 of Latvia's Jews were brutally murdered. Some Latvians participated in Nazi crimes against their Jewish countrymen. Today, fewer than 10,000 Jews live in Latvia. Ambassador Palgi says that she has not experienced overt Anti Semitism during the two years that she and her four children have lived in Latvia, but Palgi wishes there were more education about the Holocaust in Latvian society. In October 2020, the Israeli Embassy in Riga teamed up with the Latvian Ministry of Education to organise a two-day conference on Holocaust education for 100 Latvian school teachers.
