The last prisoners of the Ludza ghetto, twenty-six Jewish “specialists,” were shot on April 2 (according to other sources, May 3), 1942, in the Garbarovsky Forest, two kilometers from the town. In August 1942, a Jewish woman named Maria, who was married to a Latvian, and their three-year-old son (who had not been placed in the ghetto) were shot at the same site.
