Minsk, the capital of Belarus, had to go through a lot during the Great Patriotic War. The hard years of occupation, the desperately resisting underground, the shooting of civilians for every German killed, the ghetto, the huge destruction and all this against the background of the concentration camp standing near and the Nazis' special schools boldly deployed… For the courage and bravery of Minsk residents who made a significant contribution to the defeat of the fascists, Minsk was awarded the honorary title of "hero city".
