Monuments will be unveiled in the sites of mass executions of Jews near Chervien and Baranavichy.
Two memorials commemorating the Holocaust victims will be unveiled in Belarus on July 22–23, the Union of Belarusian Jewish Public Associations and Communities informed.
The memorials will be opened in the places of mass slaughter of the Jews during WWII: in the town of Chervien where 1,750 people were killed and in the village of Mouchadz where the Nazis executed 3,600 people on 15-18 July 1942.
The memorials are erected on the initiative of the Holocaust Commemoration Commission of Belarus established by Belarus’ major Jewish communities and organizations in September 2003. The commission is sponsored by the Simon Mark Lazarus Foundation (UK), the Miles and Merelin Kletter Family Fund (U.S.) and the Warren and Beverly Geisler Family Fund (U.S.).
Since the commission was set up, over 60 signs and memorials to the Holocaust victims have been erected in Belarus.
