Last updated
There is a large number of monuments to Soviet children that suffered and worked during the Great Patriotic War[1] and to the children prisoners of concentration camps,[2] erected in Russia and some other post-Soviet states.
Inaugurated in 2011, the monument depicts a boy with a little girl on his lap sitting on the steps of demolished house. The author is Valery Mahuchy[be].[6][7]
The memorial is installed in 2005, at the place of the burial of children from the local orphanage, from which the Germans drew blood. The composition consists of three steles made of black granite. At the top part of the middle stele are two small angels holding a Christian cross and at its bottom there are two roses wound with barbed wire.[9][10]
