Необычный и в то же время грустный памятник, посвященный погибшим евреям в 1942 году. Стоит того, чтобы один раз увидеть.
great embodiment of fear and despair and a terrifying example of human cruelty and violence. we were driving so it wasn't too hard to find it. not very far from McDonalds on Nemiga Street. if I am not mistaken it is placed on Melnikaite street. we parked nearby and crossed the street on yellow bright zebra crossing (close to some sort of school) and went right about 50m and on the crossing with another street you may find a hollow with a monument.
If you visit Minsk, don't miss this very poignant reminder of the tragedy that befell the Jewish community here with the Nazi invasion and occupation. Between 1941 and 1943, up to 80,000 Jews were forced to live in the Minsk ghetto; almost all of them were murdered. This site, known locally as "Yama" (pit), was erected in 1946, a monument in honour of the murdered Jews from the Minsk ghetto on the former site of mass shootings in the ghetto. On March 2, 1942, about 5,000 Jews from the Minsk ghetto, including many children, were shot to death by the Nazis on this site. The monument was one of very few in the former Soviet Union to contain a Yiddish inscription and to specifically name Jews as the victims of the genocide.Come here for 10 or 15 minutes to remember, say a prayer for mankind, and vow to never forget.
Spent ages trying to find it in the park with boy and swan. Never did. TripAdvisor was telling me I was 1 meter from it. :-(
Думаю никого не оставит равнодушным. Уже несколько раз прихожу в годовщину. Очень сильные впечатления.
Its somber and grave...a monument to the thousands of Jews killed by the Nazis. There are also the names of Righteous Gentiles who helped the Jews in need. My taxi driver called it Yama (Russian for pit.) The statues of the victims remind us of the pain and suffering inflicted upon the victims of the Nazi horror. A fine tribute to those who perished.
Монумент дергает за душу. Все остальное - нет. Расположен в жилом районе, меж домами. Территория не обустроена вокруг.
This memorial is very different from many others we have seen around the world.It is made up of a large number of bronze figures going down a steep hill.You can feel the anguish just looking at the figures. It is touching to the soul.
Despite small Jewish population, Nazis slaughtered whoever they could find from around the country. Famous "sand pit" episode memorialized here
Не могу оценивать на уровне "понравилось-не понравилось", это из другой категории. Равнодушным не оставит точно.
