A monument for the Jews who perished

P?avi?as Municipality, Gosti?i

Location of the monument:
Latitude 56.6233
Longitude: 25.8017
The arrests of Jews in Gosti?i started at the beginning of July 1941. All 300 arrested Jews were placed in a provisional ghetto – in a block in Gosti?i in the region of Liel? Street next to the bridge across the Aiviekste River, from where a part of those Jews, who were capable to work, were taken to work in rural farms or to P?avi?as to clear up the devastation of war. On 1 August 1941 (according to other data – on 31 July) all Jews were convoyed to the Ka??ši Peat Swamp (approximately 5–6 km from Krustpils), where a SD unit (“Ar?js’ Commando”), which had arrived from Riga, together with local self–defenders and policemen shot them.
In the autumn of 1941 on the edge of the Gosti?i Jewish Cemetery Jewish teenagers, who in the summer of 1941 had been taken from the ghetto to work as cattle herds in farms, were shot separately. Their remains were discovered only in 2005, when restoration work was done in the Cemetery. In 2006 the Council of Jewish Communities of Latvia placed on this site a black granite plaque with an inscription in Latvian: “Here in the autumn of 1941 Nazis killed fourteen Jewish children of Gosti?i”.
