On 24 March 2022, as part of the Year of Historical Memory, the National Archives of the Republic of Belarus held an excursion for the staff of the Minsk Regional Notary Chamber of the Belarusian Notary Chamber. The participants got acquainted with archival documents reflecting the history of origin, formation and development of the bodies of notaries in the Republic of Belarus, as well as unique documentary materials about the crimes of the Nazis and their accomplices against the peaceful population of occupied Belarus, genocide of the Belarusian people, the horrific facts of massacre of civilians during the Great Patriotic War. Of particular interest was the traveling exhibition of the National Archives of the Republic of Belarus “Khatyn – Sanctuary of National Memory”, which is dedicated to the 79th anniversary of the Khatyn tragedy. The photo-documentary materials presented by the archive are united by the idea of preserving the historical memory, which contributes to self-identification of the Belarusian people, patriotism and sense of pride for the heroic past.
