On April 11, 2025, the world pauses to honor the International Day for the Liberation of Prisoners of Fascist Concentration Camps, and this poignant video captures the solemn memorial event held at the Trostenets Memorial Complex near Minsk, Belarus. Set against the backdrop of the former Maly Trostenets extermination camp, one of the largest Nazi death camps on occupied Soviet territory, the ceremony pays tribute to the estimated 65,000 to 200,000 victims—Jews, Soviet prisoners of war, and civilians from Belarus, Austria, Germany, Poland, and beyond—who perished here between 1941 and 1944.

Through evocative visuals and somber music, the video captures the crowd’s unity in rejecting hatred and intolerance, echoing Belarus’s commitment to preserving the memory of Trostenets’ victims. This moving tribute underscores the importance of remembering the past to ensure "Never Again" becomes a reality.

Join us in honoring the resilience of those who suffered and the enduring call for humanity by watching this powerful commemoration at Trostenets.
