Exposition très dense et intéressante sur l'histoire récente de la Lettonie avec un accent sur les exactions des soviétiques et des nazis pendant la 2ème guerre mondiale.

Lots to see, it should take well over an hour.

Un muy buen museo para darse una idea de lonquenfueron esos momentos. Imprescindible recordar
