On April 20, an employee of the Bolgar Museum-Reserve D.P. Hramov held a memory lesson “No Statute of Limitations” for 21 students of the 6th grade of Bolgar secondary school No. 1.
The lesson was devoted to April 19, the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Genocide of the Soviet people committed by the Nazis and their accomplices during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.
The students learned that before the war against the USSR, the Nazis had developed plans to “expand living space” at the expense of our country’s territory, which included military defeat, the destruction of statehood, and the extermination of the majority of the population, followed by the colonization of the territory. The main plans included operation “Barbarossa”, the general plan “Ost”, Gering’s “Green Folder,” and Bakke’s “Hunger Plan.” The Nazi war against the USSR was unprecedented in its criminality and scale. Its main methods were punitive operations, creating conditions incompatible with life, crimes committed by the Nazis and their accomplices against children, enslavement, the destruction of “superfluous people” and cultural genocide.
The genocide of the peoples of the USSR by the Nazis during the Great Patriotic War was a deliberate act of destruction confirmed by more than 30 trials. At the end of the lesson, the students concluded that the war against the USSR was not just a military conflict, but a war of annihilation classified as a crime against humanity with no statute of limitations.
