PHOTOS: This is what the updated Historical Workshop on Sukha Street in Minsk looks like now
Photos of the new building of the Leanid Levin Historical Workshop at 25 Sukha Street in Minsk were published on his Telegram channel by blogger Dzianis Blisch.
The works were carried out by order of the International Educational Center. They were called "reconstruction," but essentially a completely new object was erected on the foundation of the old building.
Leanid Levin, after whom the Historical Workshop is named, is a well-known Belarusian architect and public figure, one of the authors of the "Khatyn" memorial complex and a number of projects dedicated to the memory of Holocaust victims.
The updated Historical Workshop will become part of the Minsk Ghetto Museum. The creation of this museum is intended to preserve the memory of the tragic events of the Second World War and the history of the Jewish community of Minsk.
During excavation work near the building, fragments were found which, according to preliminary estimates, may be remnants of the gate of the old Jewish cemetery. The found elements are now on the site near the workshop.
