                  On October 20, 2013, commemorative ceremonies for the destruction of the Minsk ghetto, 70 years ago, took place in Minsk. The events were organized by the Union of Belarussian Jewish Organizations and Communities (SBEOO), led by Union Chairman, EAJC General Council member Leonid Levin.
