Virtual exhibition «A War Hero in My Family»

Oblivion is the worst enemy of memory. To prevent it from engulfing the names and deeds of those who forged the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, we proudly present you with an exhibition dedicated to our relatives whose destinies were scorched by this terrible war.

Look at these faces. Young, full of hope, they looked to the future that they had to protect. Moments of peaceful life, pre-war smiles, and, of course, harsh shots from the front are captured here. Each photograph is a separate story told in the language of time.

Medals and orders received for courage and selflessness. Each award is a confirmation of a feat accomplished in defense of the Motherland. They shine as a symbol of eternal glory and a reminder of the price paid for a peaceful sky above.

This exhibition is not just a collection of documents, it is a tribute to the memory and respect of our ancestors who defended the freedom and independence of our country. The Zonal State Archive in Polotsk invites you to touch the history of your family, remember those who gave their lives for peace and pass on this memory to future generations.
