Jewish map of Latvia
0 Comments | Posted by Moishe Beshkin in Reviews
Two years ago, I got an idea to create a Jewish map of Daugavpils (Dvinsk) Latvia. This is my native city and I wanted to mark all the places, which were important for Jews in pre-second-world-war period.
On that time in Daugavpils, there were 43 synagogues and Jewish population was about 30 thousand people.
After some time, I decided to make such map for whole Latvia. I found a support from rabbi Menachem Barkagan and organization Shamir Latvia.
I just started learning php and javascript 3 years ago. So, looking from now, I would do it much better and easier. But still the project is alive and working. So, do not want to change anything there as soon as it is working properly.
Here is the whole map of Latvia with marked cities where are/were Jewish places. Map is interactive and clickable.
Example of City view – Riga.
Check checkboxes to see the markers on the map.
In future I plan to move to JQuery library and use more of ajax technology.
