In March 1942, the Nazi authorities in Riga decided the German ghetto was getting too crowded, and organized two massacres of the German Jews. These massacres became known as “Aktion Dünamünde“ in which they killed about 3800 people, mostly children, the elderly and the sick, using a ruse to trick the victims into believing they would receive easier work at a (non-existent) resettlement facility near a former town in Latvia called Daugavgrīva (Dünamünde in German). Rather than being transported to a new facility, they were trucked to woods north of Riga, shot, and buried in mass graves previously dug by Russian POWs.

Ida Singer died on either 15 or 26 March 1942 in Riga, Latvia, as a result of Aktion Dünamünde (Nazi execution of Jews deported to Latvia from Germany, Austria, Bohemia and Moravia)
