Pupils of the I.M. Yerashov Gymnasium of Lepel visited the independent exhibition "In Memory of the Patriots of Vitebshchina 1941-1945" – the only museum in the Republic of Belarus and the post-Soviet space whose exhibition is located in the basements of the former Nazi SD prison.
Here, during the Great Patriotic War, thousands of Soviet patriots were brutally tortured, including the glorious daughter of the Belarusian people, Vera Khoruzhaya.
The gymnasium students honored the memory of the heroes with a minute of silence.
