«Archives for School»: a meeting with students of the educational institution «Mogilev State Sanatorium Boarding School for Children with Scoliosis», dedicated to Victory Day

On the eve of the celebration on May 9, a meeting was held at the State Archives of the Mogilev Region with students of grades 7-9 of the educational institution Mogilev State Sanatorium Boarding School for Children with Scoliosis.

In the reading room, Olga Trotskaya, head of the Department for the Scientific Use of Documents and Information, and Alexander Petukhov, an archivist of the 1st qualification category, introduced the children to documents from the archives relating to the Second World War. Among them are the materials of the regional commission for assistance in the work of the emergency state commission to investigate and establish the atrocities of the Nazi invaders and their accomplices, which clearly demonstrate the extent of the tragic consequences of the Nazi policy of genocide on Belarusian lands. Also, an exhibition was presented to the attention of schoolchildren at the stand «9 May. Happy Victory Day!» dedicated to the archivists who participated in the Great Patriotic War.

Then the students visited the laboratory for the digitization of documents and the archives with an excursion.
