Remembering the Burned Villages: Bykhov Youth Honors WWII Victims

In the Bykhov district of Belarus, young specialists visited the poignant memorial complex, "In Memory of the Burned Villages of the Mogilev Region." This solemn trip served as a reminder of the tragic events of the Great Patriotic War. The complex, located in the village of Borki, is a powerful testament to the suffering endured during the war. One participant, Marina Efremychina, a nurse, shared, "It's frightening to even imagine the events that took place here in Borki. The sculptures and the overall atmosphere evoke a deep sense of unease, transporting you back to that time and the horrors that unfolded." Another participant, Mikhail Yakubenok, a plumber, stated, "It was hard to believe that the fascists burned down the village along with its people. We need to visit and talk about such places, share this knowledge with our friends and relatives." The visit underscores the importance of remembering the sacrifices made during the war and educating younger generations about this critical piece of history. The solemn atmosphere of the memorial complex left a lasting impression on all who attended, reinforcing the significance of remembering the past.
