1942–1944 · 20th century

Maly Trostenets was a Nazi extermination site near Minsk in occupied Belarus, in use from 1942 to 1944. Jews from Minsk and others deported from Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia, as well as Soviet prisoners and partisans, were shot there, mostly in the Blagovshchina forest, or killed in gas vans. Estimates of the number of dead range from about 60,000 to more than 200,000.
