The exhibition marks the 75th anniversary of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War and Belarus' occupation by the Nazi invaders. The exhibition will feature the unique photos taken by the invaders in the occupied city of Polotsk, the documents that the occupation authorities issued to Polotsk residents, newspapers, and Reichsmarks, the money of the fascist Reich in circulation in the occupied territories.

The core of the exhibition will be the materials from the holdings of the museum and the items uncovered in the course of the research by fellows and scholars of the Polotsk State University," Sergei Kopyl noted.
