“Memory is Preserved by the Living”

On April 11, 2024, the Novomarinovskaya Rural Library conducted a historical excursion “Memory is Preserved by the Living,” dedicated to the International Day of the Liberation of Prisoners of Nazi Concentration Camps.
The librarian spoke about the fascist concentration camps Buchenwald, Dachau, Majdanek, Auschwitz, Salaspils and told the children about the horrors that the prisoners experienced. Who experienced hunger, illness, torture and beatings every day, about the monstrous attitude of the Germans towards civilians and prisoners of war. Prisoners, children, women, old people and all prisoners of war worked in the death camps. The guys learned that during the war years, 18-20 million people from 30 countries of the world passed through fascist concentration camps, more than 5 million of them were citizens of the Soviet Union. Photographs from the chronicles of that terrible war were used for the event. The revival and preservation of historical memory is more relevant today than ever, precisely to ensure that such tragedies that our people experienced during the Great Patriotic War never happen again.
