"ISRAELITISCHES WOCHENBLATT"
No. 3, p.8. 19 January 1945
Yesterday I (Johann Siebert, one of the liquidators of the Riga ghetto) was in the woods of Biekern. There we shot 480 Russians and — think of it — exactly the same number of Jews as well. * * *
In the morning of the 1st of December 1941 the complete destruction of the Riga ghetto started. In groups of 500 the Jewish population were driven out of the town into the woods of Biekern, among them the Chief Rabbi of Riga, Sak. * * * On this day
the workers of Riga went on strike as a protest against the mass murder of the Jews.
