点评:This museum is based in the building used by the Soviet Union during their period of occupation. The museum itself is fairly small, but packed full of interesting details and a very interesting video of testimonies from Latvians held there. You can also do a guided tour of the cells used to hold prisoners, the interrogation room, exercise yard etc. The guide we had, Jānis, was excellent. We learned a lot about the kinds of people held there, why they were there, how they were treated, and the impact the occupation had on the community. He ended our tour with a reminder of how important it is not to take the freedoms we have for granted. Occupations can be very swift, brutal, and the people you would normally rely on for help suddenly become the people to be afraid of. Would highly recommend this tour, which you will need to book in advance, as they sell out quickly.
翻译:这家博物馆位于苏联占领时期使用的建筑内。博物馆本身规模不大,但内容丰富,细节之处引人入胜,其中一段视频记录了被关押在那里的拉脱维亚人的证词,非常值得一看。您还可以参加导览,参观囚室、审讯室、操场等区域。我们的导游亚尼斯(Jānis)非常出色。我们了解到很多关于被关押在那里的人们的资料,他们被关押的原因、他们遭受的待遇,以及占领对当地社区的影响。在参观结束时,他提醒我们不要把现在拥有的自由视为理所当然。占领可能来得非常迅速、残酷,那些你平时可以依靠的人,突然间就变成了你最害怕的人。强烈推荐这次参观,但需要提前预订,因为名额很快就会售罄。
