Belarus Memorial Honors Child Victims of Nazi Blood Experiments

The Krasny Bereg Memorial: A Silent Testimony to Child Victims of WWII In the heart of Belarus, a somber memorial stands as a testament to the unspeakable suffering endured by children during World War II. Located in the village of Krasny Bereg, the memorial commemorates the tragic fate of hundreds of children, aged 8 to 14, who were forcibly taken from their families and sent to Nazi concentration camps. These children were subjected to horrific medical experiments, their blood extracted to supply the Nazi war machine. "Today, I visited this place as part of a delegation of journalists," shares Ekaterina, a journalist who documented the visit. "It's impossible to fully comprehend the scale of this tragedy. The exhibits, the stories... they leave an indelible mark." The memorial, established in 2007, provides a poignant glimpse into the lives of these innocent victims. Exhibits showcase the harsh conditions the children faced, including cramped quarters and inadequate medical care. The sheer scale of the operation, involving children from various regions of Belarus, underscores the systematic nature of the Nazi atrocities. The lack of surviving witnesses adds to the memorial's solemn atmosphere, leaving visitors to reflect on the profound loss and the importance of remembering this dark chapter in history. The memorial serves as a crucial reminder of the devastating consequences of war and the importance of preserving peace and human rights for future generations.
