Remains of hundreds of Jews unearthed in Nazi-era mass grave in Belarus 2 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy ReutersBREST, Belarus (Reuters) – Soldiers in Belarus have unearthed the bones of hundreds of people shot during World War Two from a mass grave discovered at the site of a ghetto where Jews lived under the Nazis. The grave was uncovered by chance last month on a construction site in a residential area in the center of Brest near the Polish border. Belarus, a former Soviet republic, was occupied by Nazi Germany during World War Two and tens of thousands of its Jews were killed by the Nazis. “We want to be sure that there are no more mass graves here,” said Alla Kondak, a local culture official.
