As the German troops marched in, most of the Jews fled to Russia and into
the surrounding forests. Most of the cases of arson in the town are
committed by Jews. As the German troops marched in, they found some 60
totally multilated Latvians, whereupon 80 Jews were liquidated. Police
prefect Matsch has taken the liquidation upon himself. The former Latvian
judge, Alexander, was entrusted with the management of the local criminal
