Memorial of the Salaspils Police Prison (Salaspils Camp) was established in Salaspils, Latvia, in 1967. A monument was added in 2004 commemorating foreign Jews who died at the prison. It bears the Star of David and an inscription in Hebrew, Latvian and German: "To honour the dead and as a warning to the living. In memory of the Jews deported from Germany, Austria and Czechia, who from December 1941 to June 1942 died from hunger, cold and inhumanity and have found eternal rest in the Salaspils forest". Monument construction was made possible by a donation from Larry Pik, a former prisoner at the Salaspils Police Prison. ^[1]
