Memory of Belarusians killed during WWII venerated at Dremlevo memorial complex

A mourning rally dedicated to the memory of civilians burned alive and shot by fascists took place in Dremlevo: on September 11th, 1942, the punishers destroyed almost all villagers here

The tragedy happened during the Triangle punitive operation which covered the Zhabinka, Brest and some other districts. All adults and children were gathered by the Nazis in two sheds and burned alive: 196 women, old people and children were killed then. Only twelve villagers managed to escape. On September 13th, the remains were buried in the cemetery of the neighbouring village of Stepanki.

In 1967, a mound was banked on the site, and a memorial complex was unveiled here in 1982. It features a three-figure bronze composition: a mother, a daughter and a granddaughter are grieving on boulders. The soil from the place of the burned village was buried in the Kharyn memorial complex.
