Subate Hospital

I've been to Latvia to film a documentary about mass executions of jews in Subate (a small village) during WW II. I stumbled across this hospital by accident due I had to pick up our interpreter there. I only had the chance to take photos for 10-15min. before we were asked to leave. Never thought places like this exist in Europe anymore. Once a former hospital, today an institution storing (yes, that's what it was like) mentally disordered patients. The personell isn't trained to help those people.
