Khatyn Memorial Complex

Easy parking, well maintained, no entrance fee. A somber and humbling experience.

Very impressive memorial. Definitely worth the visit

This place should be visited by everyone who wants to get in touch with the history of this country

Extremely moving memorial to a horrible chapter in history.

An unusual place. It is difficult to describe the atmosphere and all the feelings when you are among these monuments of human cruelty. A special sensation is causing by the bells ringing for the deads. At the same time there is some kind of harmony here. This place is definitely worth a visit. The entrance is free.

The first thing you need to do is go to the museum (kind of unnoticeable on the far left of the parking lot) and buy a $2 book that gives the history and significance of all of the memorials (book is in English and Russian). There is a museum that shows photos of past memorials and photos of construction of present ones. It also has stories and photos of survivors from Khatyn and other villages--only in Russian though. The whole complex is very harrowing, but so worthwhile. Very well done in typical Soviet style (concrete).

If you visit Minsk, you should also visit this Memorial.

This is a must witness during a trip in Belarus. It describe the insanity of war, the bells reminds about the tragedy as happened here.
