We went to Belarus, visited places of memory. The memorial puts you in a stupor. The monument at the entrance leads to a state of numbness, the ringing of bells causes trembling all over the body. In this place, you begin to appreciate life with its small problems and understand that everything in this life passes quickly and you need to appreciate and love life
It's fascinating. It's creepy. The younger generation should be brought here so that this does not happen again. It's one thing to read literature, but it's another to see everything with your own eyes. A bell sounds every 30 seconds. Monuments to burned villages, houses, and on each obelisk of the house the names of the victims.
This place is a must-visit for everyone! We need to take our children there so that they know, understand and love, can have compassion and be patriots.
It is a very large-scale and mournful place. The staff is a bit boorish, though. They painted the eternal flame, so it was impossible to get even a little closer. But this did not spoil the impression and did not affect the understanding of the whole tragedy that occurred at this place.
the place is very serious. We need to know our history. I have already brought the children on the tour twice, they were very interested. We get caught in the rain here every time.
It's hard to describe how you feel in this place. Fear, pain and sorrow. There are a lot of names of burned villages and villages, the death toll. And the minute-by-minute chime of bells throughout the complex only enhances the impression. It is definitely worth visiting this place, no matter at what age - emotions and thoughts about all the atrocities and horrors of war will remain for a long time.
The memorial, where the bell rings for every innocent soul of all the dead residents of Belarus - slaughtered, shot, burned alive, died of hunger, disease and grief.
I visited this complex in 1979 and this 2019. Everything remained as it was. Belarusians have preserved history.It's very impressive early in the morning when no one is there yet.
Visiting this complex, you realize that the problems of the present are insignificant compared to what happened then. It is very difficult to describe the complex - everyone needs to visit it so that they know and remember!!!
A beautiful and harsh place at the same time. The sun, the forest, the stylized chimneys of burned huts with bells on them. And these bells are beating wistfully one by one from different sides of the village. My heart is restless and thoughts about life are spinning. It's a difficult place, but you have to visit it.
The complex, thanks to which, the memory of every fourth person will live forever... There is something to show and tell the children! Especially in our century, the age of phones and the Internet! Thanks for the memory!
It was creepy for me, the place makes an indelible impression.

Very beautiful places that leave indelible impressions, the very atmosphere of the complex evokes mourning thoughts. Visiting Belarus, it is necessary to start with Khatyn, in order to understand how difficult it was for our children and great-grandfathers. You should never forget this!
The energy of this place is appropriate. Thanks to the creators for such a memorial complex, it is important to remember the history.

A place that must be visited. It is very impressive and makes your heart beat faster when you realize the full scale of the tragedy. Eternal memory!!!!
It's very creepy and gloomy. More or less even when the weather is sunny. Although I was there once at night. It's good that she's not alone, otherwise, her heart would not have stood it.
It's impressive. Trembling through the body. Was it really all that? If anyone is going to Belarus, it is necessary to visit it. If a person is not a fool, he will understand everything.
Another sacred place of the Second World War, where you should visit at least once in your life... This is enough to remember the tragedy of Khatyn all your LIFE!!!!
Admission is free. There is a bell on the site of every burned house that rings every minute. On the pillar of this bell there is a commemorative plaque listing all the dead of this house . Some families had 7-10 children, all were burned. When you walk around the memorial, your heart freezes with horror. And such a lost village is not the only one in Belarus.
A place where the whole body trembles. The figures from the memorial are damning. I believe that every citizen of our great country is obliged to visit this place so that there is an understanding in their heads of what was happening on our land only 70 years ago
Belarus remembers well, does not forget and honors the victory of the Soviet people over fascism. There is a large parking lot in front of the complex, the sound of bells is heard every 30 seconds. Only some don't work. Young people are brought by buses. Well done.
A huge memorial complex, land was brought from 184 settlements and villages of Belarus destroyed by the Nazis, it is difficult to stay on the territory for a long time
