Belarusian writer Але́сь Адамович—participant of the Great Patriotic War, a partisan—his “Khatyn Story” presented in this edition was created using documentary material and is devoted to the partisan struggle in occupied Belarus.
“Talently embodied memory of the war, a tale-reminder and a tale-warning. The experience of those who survived the war cannot be wasted. It teaches humanity—perhaps the most elementary of truths: only without sparing one’s own life can freedom be defended and the enemy defeated. Especially such a sophisticated enemy as German fascism.”
