Kurapaty is a wooded region in Belarus, where the NKVD killed about 30,000 civilians (largely Belarusians, Poles, Lithuinians and Jews) from 1937 until 1941. The burials of the victims were discovered in 1988.[1] In 1990 the government of Belarus recognized that the massacre took place. President Alexander Lukashenko refuses to create a memorial for the massacre. Instead of that volunteers erect crosses to honor the victims.[2]
