one of our hardest videos to make (Khatyn, Belarus)

This video is about one of the most powerful and sobering experiences of all our travels. We visit the Khatyn Memorial Complex which is about an hour’s drive from Minsk, the capital city of Belarus. Khatyn was a small village until 1943 when Nazis rounded up all the villagers and burned them in a barn. More than 600 villages in Belarus suffered the same fate and some, like Khatyn, were erased from maps forever. The memorial is also dedicated to the one in four Belarusians who perished after the Nazi invasion. There are many memorials to tragedies around the world, however, this one is unique and moved us in ways we will never forget. 🏠 GET A $50 AIRBNB TRAVEL CREDIT: http://www.airbnb.com/c/emccurdy3 🎥 OUR AMAZON SHOP: GEAR + TRAVEL FAVOURITES https://www.amazon.com/shop/eileenaldis 🎵 GET A 30-DAY FREE TRIAL OF OUR MUSIC DATABASE: https://www.epidemicsound.com/referra... 💼GET $20 OFF THE SUITCASES WE USE: https://referrals-ca.awaytravel.com/a... 👇SONGS USED IN THIS VIDEO: 🎶Prozody - Entanglement https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/A...
