August 12, Pozirk.<\/em> <\/strong>At least 546,000 people murdered by the Nazis are buried in the Tra\u015bcianiec death camp near Minsk, more than double than previously assumed, the Prosecutor General’s Office has said after running an information check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public, including the youth, should be informed about “the real scale of the tragedy and the consequences of the genocide of the Belarusian people,\u201d prosecutors stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belarusian government started promoting the concept of genocide against Belarusians during the Second World War about four years ago, while Prosecutor General Andrej \u0160vied personally contributed content for a textbook on genocide for five-graders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka also criminalized genocide denial and allowed prosecution of the dead Nazi criminals, while officials and propaganda workers often try to pin genocide on opposition activists by calling them \u201cfascists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
