In memory of the 81st anniversary of the tragedy in the Belarusian village of Ola, today a lesson in memory "Ola. Fate frozen in fire..." was held in the dormitory of the Minsk Radio Engineering College.

81 years ago, the Nazis burned the village of Ola to the ground along with all the inhabitants.
The settlement has not been on the map for a long time – it has never been restored. There is now a large memorial complex at the site of the monstrous crime.
A symbolic place for Belarusians. The monument consists of an extended pedestrian route – this is the same village street, lost in the forest, along which on January 14, 1944, residents of Ola and neighboring villages were led to certain death. All of them did not live only two weeks before the liberation by the Red Army.
In terms of the scale of the tragedy, Ola is 12 Khatyns. It’s just that few people knew about it – until a large-scale monument appeared on the site of the burned village.
Today, visitors to the memorial are greeted by words carved in stone, which move them to tears, and which contain all the pain of the Belarusian people.
An important task of memory lessons is to convey to the younger generation reliable information about the essence of Nazism and fascism, about the heinous crimes that were committed by the occupiers and their accomplices in the territory Belarus. It is necessary to preserve and pass on the historical truth about the war to subsequent generations so that they value and cherish peace on our land.
