The Dünamünde Action (Aktion Dünamünde) was an operation launched by the Nazi German occupying force in Biķernieki forest, near Riga, Latvia. Its objective was to execute Jews who had recently been deported to Latvia from Germany, Austria, Bohemia and Moravia.

About 1,900 people were killed in the first action and 1,840 in the second.

Rather than being transported to a new facility, they were trucked to woods north of Riga, shot, and buried in prev

The victims were lured to their deaths by a false promise that they would receive easier work at a (non-existent) resettlement facility near a former town in Latvia called Daugavgrīva (Dünamünde). Rather than being transported to a new facility, they were trucked to woods north of Riga, shot, and buried in previously dug mass graves. The elderly, the sick and children predominated among the victims.
