Vaccination against the "brown plague" is mandatory for visits with children. We were with a 17-year-old teenager and a 10-year-old child.
A wonderful museum, small, but the exposition and the idea are impressive, not even so ... it chills to the bone!
The White Hall is incredible in the power of meaning!
Lots of interactive screens with archived documents!
We were on the eve of Victory Day, we left an indelible impression.
Thanks!

Perhaps this is the strongest memorial dedicated to the Great Patriotic War, where I have ever been. The memorial was created in the 50s under the USSR. The memorial was created on the site of the burned village of Khatyn. There are 286 of them, burned to the ground along with the inhabitants. It's not even possible to read it. The memorial consists of several parts and recreates the village completely, only on the site of burned houses, there are chimneys of stoves, like candles of memory, and on them are plaques with the names of those living in this house and the age of the children. And when you read 2 goals, 4 years, 10 years.... Shock, a lump in my throat, tears flowing by themselves. How could grown men just drive all the children and women with the elderly into a barn and set fire to it????? What kind of hatred had to be in the hearts of people not to see the children of another nation like that. I do not want to write about politics and who was in the composition of these punishers, the past cannot be returned. But to all those who are looking for the truth in history and who have questions inside why this is happening now, come to the memorial, walk around, feel this pain. The central place in this memorial is occupied by the figure of a grandfather who carries the lifeless burnt body of his granddaughter in his arms. Miraculously, he survived as a witness to the hell that happened on earth. And how did the author of the sculpture manage to put unbearable pain, hope and faith in Victory into the eyes of this elder. Do not drive past, the memorial is located 5 km from the highway, between Polotsk and Vitebsk. There is a huge parking lot with free comfortable toilets. There is a museum and a cafe. The day off is Monday, the museum and cafe are closed, the memorial is open

It's hard to assess such a place, of course. But I will describe my impressions :
I am from the Russian Federation. For me, the Khatyn Memorial Complex was one of the must-visit places. I can say that the realization of the museum (the content of which is more widely regarded as an object of complete immersion) is beyond praise. 1000% visualization! Very deep impressions, while there is no information overload, because everyone knows this black page of the history of Belarus, there are a large number of books and memories to familiarize themselves with. And here you will simply experience emotions - animal fear, oppressive, bitter.
Stylistically, the museum building and other structures also fit into a single style, there is no dissonance.
Well, the cemetery itself and the whole complex as a whole - the ashes of villages wiped off the face of the earth, the skeletons of Khatyn, the groans
of bells - everything here is so great and beautiful from the visual, how terrible and scary.
I thank the leadership of the Republic of Belarus, the staff of the complex, and the citizens of the country for keeping it in memory. For keeping every memorable corner of their land in perfect cleanliness (both physical and spiritual). This is a place that every citizen of the former Soviet Union and the participating countries on both sides is obliged to visit. It will be a painful injection for those who forget the story. But we all really need him.
