Žanis Lipke was a completely ordinary Latvian blue-collar worker who worked at the German military aviation warehouses and supplemented his income by smuggling at night. Yet as soon as the German occupation regime began its bloody repressions against Riga’s Jews, he made the hardly simple but humane decision that could prove lethal not only to himself but also to his family.
