Background
The Jungfernhof concentration camp (Latvian: Jumpravmuižas koncentrÄcijas nometne) was a Nazi concentration camp located in Riga, Latvia from December 1941 to March 1942. Jungfernhof was an improvised concentration camp near the Å Ä·irotava Railway Station in southeast Riga to serve as overflow housing for Jews deported from Germany and Austria. Prisoners were used as forced labour to construct the nearby Salaspils concentration camp. Around 4,000 prisoners went through Jungfernhof during its four months of operation, with nearly all dying from the poor conditions at the camp or being killed in the Rumbula massacre and Dünamünde Action.
