On November 13, 2026, within the framework of the national \u00abArchives to Schools<\/strong>\u00bb campaign and the \u00abYoung Archivist\u00bb<\/strong> pilot project, a thematic meeting titled \u00abTo Live and Remember: The Tragedy of the Burned-Down Village of Antonovka\u00bb<\/strong> was held at the Krichev Children\u2019s Library No.2 for 8th-grade students from Secondary School No.8 in Krichev<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Antonovka consisted of about 40 households; 10 were inhabited by a Belarusian population, while the others were home to Jewish families. In the early 1930s, a collective farm (kolkhoz) named \u00abNew Life\u00bb (\u00abNovaya Zhizn\u00bb) was established, uniting 32 households.<\/p>\n

November 14, 1941, began as an ordinary day in the village, and none of its residents suspected that for many of them, it would be their last. On that day, the Nazis seized 18 Jewish villagers. The Hitlerites spared no one\u2014neither a 90-year-old man, nor women with infants, nor children. The victims were driven to a pit and shot at point-blank range. Later, the brutalized Nazis executed other residents of the village as well.<\/p>\n

In 2004, to honor the memory of the residents of Antonovka, students from the Molyatichi School\u2014under the guidance of their principal\u2014erected a monument in the form of a tree with severed branches, symbolizing the \u00abtree of life\u00bb and the extinguishing of its future. Antonovka is included on the list of villages that were burned down and never rebuilt in the post-war period. <\/p>\n

The young people were also shown archival documents\u2014specifically, witness questionnaires regarding this tragedy\u2014provided by the State Archive of the Russian Federation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
