World War II memorial in Minsk, Belarus / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Khatyn national state memorial of the Republic of Belarus is the central war memorial of Belarus for all victims of the German occupation during World War II. It commemorates particularly the more than 600 "burnt villages" which, together with their inhabitants, were destroyed by the Germans throughout the war. The Khatyn massacre was one of them; the village lies about 60 kilometres north of Minsk on the road to Vitebsk in the Logoisky district, in the Minsk Region.[1]
