The most poignant impression of a trip to Belarus. A monument to the victims of the Holocaust. A chilling composition. The idea and execution are at the very heart. Low bow and eternal memory
The place for the memorial complex was not chosen by chance. A terrible crime against humanity was committed here, five thousand prisoners of the Minsk ghetto were shot. Emaciated figures of people, one after another, descend into this pit to meet their deaths there. It's creepy. But be sure to visit.
We visited the Yama Memorial complex today. It 's very hard emotionally . Not only from the fact that the life path of five thousand people tragically ended here : the elderly , women , children ... Irrevocably, irreparably fascist inhumans wiped so many people off the face of the earth .... But it was also bitter from the neglect , some kind of abandonment of this place .... As if everyone had forgotten the way there ... There is no one to clean up the mess ... There is no one to bring a pebble ....
