The memorial was designed by the Belarusian architect Leonid Levin, the author of the Khatyn complex. It is dedicated to all the children who suffered during the Second World War. According to the author's idea, the whole complex is a sun with rays radiating in different directions. There is an apple orchard around as a symbol of life. And the whole memorial is a collection of symbols. To the point of trembling. To tears. You can't forget that!
Krasny Bereg was not a donor children's camp. It was a collection point, where in June 1944, for several weeks, children from 8 to 14 years old from all over the district were taken. They were washed, examined, and blood was taken only for analysis to determine the group. And then they were sent on. Some of the children were taken as donors to hospitals, and some to work in Germany.
It is better to visit this place with a guide, and not just walk around and see. To know.
The complex itself is not big. If you visit, take flowers for laying. Construction works are underway nearby.
There are toilets.

The monument is a memorial dedicated to the children of war.
Why children? Because it was here, in the Red Coast, that the largest donor concentration camp was located during the war. Children were taken away from their parents and brought here as donors for German soldiers..
The memorial is worth visiting for everyone. In general, every detail of the memorial is carefully thought out: a fragile girl, an empty classroom, a ship of hope, a letter from 1943 from a girl from the camp, paintings...The history of this place will not leave anyone indifferent.

We came with students from St. Petersburg to Krasny Bereg. The wonderful guide Alexey Ivanovich Mazok immersed us in the atmosphere of those tragic days. He told us a lot of interesting facts. Thank you very much and bow low!
