Žanis Lipke Memorial, Holocaust history museum in Ķīpsala district, Riga, Latvia.
The memorial building features a dark wooden structure resembling an overturned boat, containing exhibits about wartime resistance and humanitarian efforts.
During World War II, Žanis Lipke constructed an underground bunker beneath his woodshed, saving numerous Jewish individuals from the Riga Ghetto.
The memorial includes a traditional Jewish sukkah structure with transparent walls, connecting visitors to themes of shelter and survival.
The museum operates Tuesday through Saturday, with extended hours on Thursdays until 8 PM, offering free admission and audio guides.
The basement level contains an exact replica of the original bunker, complete with nine built-in bunks and two concealed entrance points.
