The Monument to the Defenders of Bauska (Latvian: Piemineklis "Bauskas aizstāvjiem pret otrreizējo padomju okupāciju") was unveiled in the small town of Bauska in southern Latvia on 14 September 2012. The monument is an obelisk about two metres high. The inscription reads: "To the defenders of Bauska against the second Soviet occupation on July 28 – September 14, 1944", followed by "Latvia should be a Latvian state", a quotation from a speech made by Karlis Ulmanis, Latvia's last pre-war president. The monument was built with private donations on land given by the municipal council. It was unveiled in the centre of Bauska in the presence of local officials and a lawmaker. The monument is controversial due to allegations that it glorifies Nazism and its Latvian collaborators.

- Памятник защитникам Бауски (латыш. Piemineklis Bauskas aizstāvjiem) — памятник, установленный в 2012 году в городе Бауска (Латвия). Посвящён добровольцам, организовавшим в 1944 году оборону города от наступающих частей Красной армии. Установка памятника вызвала крайне негативную реакцию со стороны официальных лиц в России и Беларуси, поскольку в числе защитников города были бойцы 23-го и 319-го батальонов латышской вспомогательной полиции, ранее принимавших участие в карательных операциях.
