On March 22, we remember the terrible pages of our history – the Day of the Khatyn tragedy. This day commemorates the victims of the mass extermination of civilians that took place in 1943 in the village of Khatyn and other places in Belarus. At least 290 Belarusian settlements were divided into Khatyn.
On this day, we bow our heads in memory of civilians, peaceful citizens who became victims of cruelty and barbarism. Khatyn became a symbol of the heroism and indomitable fortitude of the Belarusian people during the Great Patriotic War.
The memory of the tragedy helps us preserve the historical truth and teaches us to value peace and tranquility. We thank everyone who has not forgotten the past and continues to fight for a brighter future.
On this memorable day, we jointly lay flowers at the memorials to perpetuate the memory of the victims and prevent similar tragedies in the future. Remembering the past, we build the future. The memory of the Khatyn tragedy will be an unyielding reminder to all of us of the high price of peace.
Memory is our strength and our duty.
