Latvijas Avize prints an interview with the chairman of the Latvian Council of the Jewish Parishes and Communities Arkadijs Suharenko about the situation of the Jewish community in Latvia and possible manifestations of anti-Semitism in Latvia. Speaking about anti-Semitism, Suharenko admits that there is no anti-Semitism on state level. At the same time the chairman believes, that the activities of certain politicians (for example, their support for the rehabilitation of the notorious Herberts Cukurs as a Latvian hero and famous pilot, although it has been documented that he participated in the Holocaust during World War II) could led to confrontation in society. Meanwhile, according to Suharenko, it is very important for the Jewish community to be integrated in the Latvian society. There are approximately 10,600 – 10,700 Jews living in Latvia.
