Žanis Lipke Memorial
Riga’s best-hidden museum. This concealment is not only factual but also symbolic for this place used to serve as a hideaway.
The Lipke Memorial has been called the Riga's best-hidden museum. This concealment is not only factual but also symbolic for this place used to serve as a hideaway for the Jews during the Nazi occupation in Riga. Today it is celebrated as the best-hidden museum in Riga which you are supposed to find!
The memorial aims to be not only a place where one stops, looks back and remembers the day-to-day heroism of the Lipke family and their confidants over years of the Second World War, but also a place which addresses the contemporary issues of discrimination and equal rights, prejudice and stereotypes, and the overall civic society education.
