Prelude - Latvia

Our first stop was in Riga, Latvia, with a day trip to Daugavpils (aka Dvinsk). Hilda's mother often spoke longingly of Riga, describing it as a beautiful city. It is.

Hello,
I read with much interest your website.
My grand father Zalman Eliokim Usdin was born in Vishki,a shtetl north of Daugavpils and emigrated to France.The ones ,who stayed in Latvia were killed in the Dvinsk or Riga ghetto in 1941.
If you are interested in reading the blog I am writing here it is:

All the best.
