Event of the Rechitsa State Archive dedicated to the Day of National Remembrance of the Victims of the Great Patriotic War and the genocide of the Belarusian people

On June 22, as part of the «Archives for School» campaign, the «Zonal State Archive in Rechitsa» institution held a lecture on the topic «We are faithful to this memory» at the Rechitsa State Agrarian College.

On the basis of documents from the funds of the Extraordinary State Commission of the USSR (F. 864), the Rechitsa City Executive Committee (F. 342) and the District Executive Committee (F. 348), archivists spoke about the occupation period of 1941-1943 in Rechitsa and Rechitsa region.

When reading some of these documents, among which were the protocols of interviews of witnesses and photographs of the consequences of fascism, the youth of the college learned the terrible truth about the inhumanity and crimes of the Nazis and their accomplices against the civilian population and the national economy on Belarusian soil.

In addition, students were informed about the existence of an electronic database «Belarusian villages burned during the Great Patriotic War» posted on the website of the National Archives of the Republic of Belarus.
