Arājs Kommando: The Horrifying Crimes Of Latvia's Nazi Collaborators

The Arājs Kommando, a Latvian auxiliary police force led by Victor Arājs, played a brutal and pivotal role in the Holocaust. Driven by a mix of ambition, antisemitism, and opportunism, they actively participated in the rounding up, dehumanization, and mass murder of over 26,000 Latvian Jews, most notably in the Rumbula and Liepāja massacres. After the initial extermination of Jews in Latvia, their focus shifted to anti-partisan operations, committing further atrocities in Belarus. While Herbert Cukurs, Arājs's second-in-command, was assassinated by Mossad, Arājs himself was eventually convicted for his crimes, though he served only a short prison sentence. Latvia continues to grapple with this dark chapter of its history, with ongoing efforts to acknowledge its role in the Holocaust despite some lingering denial and glorification of collaborators.
