 Axis History Forum :: Question about Salaspils
Karlis Strazds, that was a guard in the Salaspils camp, testified that Kalejs was the Commander of the perimetral guards.
Salaspils was not a camp of that sort, and it now appears that the number who died there was greatly exaggerated by the NKVD, and the inflation has continued in Soviet and now Russian sources: form 53,000 to 56,000 to 100,000 or even 200,000.
Obviously he must have known that Salaspils was a labour camp, and not an extermination centre that received convoys of Jews from various European countries.

 NATO Speech: Joint press point with the NATO Secretary General and the Latvian Prime Minister - 27 Nov. 2006
This is the first of 20 NATO summits to be held within ten miles of a concentration camp, Salaspils, where 100,000 persons were murdered between 1941 and 1944.
Will you encourage any of the leaders attending this summit to visit Salaspils, or the even nearer and elegant memorial in Riga to the Holocaust as a reminder of the expectation that NATO will never allow such barbarities to happen again in the countries of the Euro-Atlantic Alliance?
And that's the reason why the leaders of 26 countries meeting tomorrow and day after that are to guarantee peace in the world.
