C. We are proud of our victory

For Belarusians, Victory Day is not only a festive day. It is also the day of remembrance, deep respect, and gratitude to all who made the Victory possible. On 22 June, 1941, Fascist [ˈfæʃɪst] Germany invaded the Soviet Union and by the end of August 1941, all of the present-day Belarus territories were occupied by the Nazis. It was liberated only after three tragic years of fascist occupation.

Belarus was one of the nations who suffered the worst in the war. 209 cities and regional centres, 9,200 villages were destroyed and burnt. In Belarus, there were about 250 concentration camps for Soviet prisoners of war. Among them is Trastsianets, Europe’s fourth-largest death camp, where over 200,000 people were killed. It is believed that during the occupation, about 400,000 people (including 24,000 children) were taken to forced (принудительный / прымусовы) labour in Germany. During the years of the Great Patriotic War Belarus lost from 2.5 to 3 million people. Every third Belarusian died in the war. Our hearts will never forget the residents of Khatyn whose 149 villagers, including 75 children aged under 16, were burnt alive by the Nazis. 628 other Belarusian villages shared the tragedy of Khatyn.

The tragedy and the Victory will always fill the hearts of Belarusian people with pain and pride. Our grandfathers, and great-grandfathers defended our Motherland heroically and won the victory over the great evil – Fascism. It is thanks to their heroism we can live under the peaceful sky, breathe freely, and enjoy every new day.
