There were more than 580 concentration camps in Belarus where people were killed and tortured with the cruelty unknown anywhere else, Belarusian Prosecutor General Andrei Shved said during a city commemorative rally at the Stalag 352 memorial complex on the International Day of Liberation of the Nazi concentration camps.
Stalag-352 was one of the biggest POW camps in the Nazi-occupied territory of the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War.
Representatives of government bodies, public associations and political parties, clergy, Armed Forces, veterans, youth, and MPs laid flowers and wreaths at the memorial in memory of the dead. Before the rally, a memorial service was held in the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross for all those who died during the war.
