Holocaust monument unveiled in Minsk
A monument to some 6,000 Jews executed by Nazi troops on what is now Sukhaya Street in Minsk was unveiled at the massacre site on October 22.
Created by architect Leanid Levin and sculptor Maksim Petrul, the memorial represents a broken bronze round table and an armchair standing on a red-granite pedestal.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Mr. Levin, chairman of the Union of Belarusian Jewish Public Associations and Communities, said that the memorial symbolized a Jewish home destroyed during World War II. “There’s no house after the Nazi pogrom, the family has been killed,” he said.
Mikhail Tsitsyankow, deputy chairman of the Minsk City Executive Committee, said that Belarusians remembered the tragic fate of the Minsk ghetto’s prisoners.
The ceremony also was attended by German Ambassador Gebhardt Weiss. //BelaPAN
