Lonely Planet review

The sobering Occupation Museum traces the bloody history of the Soviet and Nazi occupation in Latvia, with an emphasis on Liepāja. A visit here is a moving, albeit disturbing, experience and should be on any Liepāja agenda. Captions are in Latvian, but no words are needed to explain the powerful photographs and images of the 1939-40 deportations to Siberia (an estimated 2000 people from Liepāja were deported), the genocide committed against Latvian Jews and the fight for independence in 1991.
