I am posting this video for those who are unable to visit Riga to be able to learn from the dark history and appreciate the freedom that we are currently enjoy. If you are in Riga, please do pay the Corner House a visit, and definitely join the tour if you have time.
Background of the building:
In 1940, during the Soviet occupation of Latvia in 1940, the house was converted into KGB offices and dozens of cells. In 1941-1944, during most of the German occupation of Latvia during World War II, a youth group called “National Watch” occupied the building, as well as Latvia's puppet government, appointed by the Nazis. With the Soviet re-occupation of Latvia in 1944, the Soviet Red Army took over the house once again.
After the restoration of Latvia's independence, State Police occupied this building from the beginning of 1990 until mid-July 2008. In 2014, the house was opened as part of Riga's tenure as a European Capital of Culture. From 2015 the house is used by the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia for an exposition about the history of the KGB in Latvia. In 2015, the house underwent a facade renovation. In 2020, the house was offered at auction by the government.
