On the holding by the institution «Zonal State Archive in Zhlobin» of a memory lesson «Ordinary genocide» with students of the State Educational Institution «Secondary School No. 7 of Zhlobin»

As part of the implementation of the Law «On the Genocide of the Belarusian People», signed by the President of Belarus A.G.Lukashenka on January 5, 2022 and the «Archives to School» campaign, employees of the Zonal State Archive in Zhlobin held a memory lesson «Ordinary Genocide» on December 15, 2022, for 5th grade students of the state educational institution «Secondary School No. 7 Zhlobin».

Archivist Eliseeva Irina Nikolaevna and history teacher Volina Natalya Andreevna introduced the children to archival documents revealing the details of the terrible tragedy – the genocide of the Belarusian people during the Great Patriotic War.

Students read eyewitness accounts, witness interview protocols, acts of damage and other materials of the “Extraordinary State Commission for the Establishment and Investigation of the Atrocities of the Nazi Invaders and Their Accomplices” committed by them in the Zhlobin and Streshin regions.

Genocide against the civilian population – this should not be forgotten. In the Year of Historical Memory, we must bring the truth to every child so that they remember those events and innocent victims.
