There is a book written in Yiddish called Yehudot Latvia, about Bauska, (Iyr
Moldati) Latvia. It lists a number of people and gives a little blurb about them. I do not have it but I found my wife's great great grandfather mentioned in it.

belarus@lyris.jewishgen.org writes: << But, someone puts fresh flowers in front of it each day. >> The Belarus population is very generous with floral offerings to its many martyrs, most of them Christian victims of the German occupiers. One in five citizens was so killed. The Chatyn site (formerly a real village before the Wehrmacht raised this town, also, and killed all its inhabitants save one --temporarily absent-- blacksmith) has almost a city block, formerly the residence of one of the murdered inhabitants, devoted to an eternal flame and an entire square of constantly replaced floral bouquets. At the entrance to the Chatyn site is a ten foot statue of the village blacksmith, pieta-like holding his dieing son in his arms. The blacksmith had been in a neighboring village to do some work when all other residents were forced into a barn which was, then, set on fire. Standard practice by the German soldiers in such situations. When the blacksmith returned, all his friends and neighbors were dead in the smoldering ashes of the barn. He found his son who was still alive, but barely. The child died later in his arms. After the end of the War, the village houses were located, their outlines traced, and a single chimney was raised at the former site of each house. There is a tiny electronic bell in each chimney which, now, chime every two minutes, one at a time. It is an eerie place. The long wall commemorating the many Jewish victims of the Germans forms a part of this memorial but is quite apart, off to the side. There are many fresh flowers at those stone tablets, also.
