>At least 5,295 Belarusian settlements were burned and destroyed

They are known though. They're often mentioned alongside the Holocaust and Eastern Front Nazi atrocities.

Honestly, WW2, especially the eastern front, was so fucked up in general it's inevitable certain things get lost in the big picture. The holocaust was just the biggest and most dramatic set of millions so it gets the most attention, and people find it easier to focus only on the biggest.

History only cares about Europeans.

It's pretty well known. Everyone knows about the huge soviet death toll in WW2

but yes, this is why /pol/'s surprise that the soviet people wouldn't accept hitler shocking is so hilarious

Good goy

How do you burn down the same village multiple times if everything was burned down and everyone in the village was killed the first time?

>>2733982
Slavs aren't Jews.

>Why isn't this atrocity better known?

because you come back for the ones you missed last time

a willage isnt ten huts in the middle of a forest, what ''village'' means in east europe is the equivalent of ''town'' in america, some villages have a population of thousands

>>2735159
I'm guessing the ones that were totally and depopulated were not among the ~500 villages that were burned down more than once, but part of the 4500 others.

>>2733982
Because it's not in pop culture because you don't know a Belarusian around the corner
Why do people keep on making Holocaust threads

Fairly standard Nazi stuff in Eastern Europe, what's a few thousand more in the midst of millions?
