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 police. He is under the control of the Security
Police. He was instructed to choose capable people among the former
active Latvian police officials and to give them criminal-police tasks.
