Izlasīju Lāsmas Gaitnieces rakstus par pilotes Valdas Ošs traģisko dzīvi - no bēgļu gaitām līdz Austrālijai, kur bija jācīnās pret diskrimināciju aviacijā. Latviski - “Kas Jauns” (bit.ly/3OFfzeW); angliski - jāsameklē laikraksta “Laiks” 29. jūlija numuru.

A valuable tool showing the places and names of people deported by the Soviets in the 1941 and 1949 deportations. The maps are an important historical record, while also showing the horrific and extensive scope of these atrocities.

@BadBalticTakes There is an interactive map of the names and ages tied to their address of those who were deported from Latvia. Go to the drop down menu on the left and choose 1941. gada 14. jūnijs, then move around on the map with the zoom feature for addresses. Riga: deportetie.kartes.lv/lv/c___56.9695…
