July 15, MINSK. The Belarusian Telegraph Agency, in joint projects with the Prosecutor General's Office () and the Ministry of Justice ("Archives. Nothing but the Truth"), opens little-known archival documents about the genocide of the Belarusian people during the Great Patriotic War. All series of projects are placed on a single electronic platform.

In the new issue, we present the monologues of seven real witnesses to the genocide of the Belarusian people. Before their eyes, the Nazis burned villages and shot the inhabitants, hunted them down with dogs and imprisoned mothers who took some MILK for a dying child without permission, beat prisoners in concentration camps until they broke 25 sticks on their backs. But in each of the stories told by the last witnesses, a miracle necessarily happened, thanks to which each of them can sum up the terrible memories with the words: "So we stayed alive."

The projects present documented facts about the war, which were previously preferred not to be discussed. The text content of the episodes of the projects "Last Witnesses" and "Archives. Nothing but the Truth" is supplemented by unique archival video and photo materials.
