War → WWII → Hanging Belarusian Partisans in Minsk (Belarus, U.S.S.R.) on 10/26/1941 (Set Four)
Three Belarusian partisans (one woman and two men) were hanged from a gate of Minsk Yeast Generator Plant by Nazi in Minsk (Belarus, U.S.S.R.) on 10/26/1941. The man was identified as Kiril Trus. The boy at the age of 16 years was identified as Volodia Shcherbatsevich (his mother was hanged from a crossbar in front of the building of National Academy of Science of Belarus on the same day; please see Hanging Belarusian Partisans in Minsk (Belarus, U.S.S.R.) on 10/26/1941 (Set Three). The hanged girl was officially identified as "unknown." They were members of the resistance in Minsk during Nazi occupation. They were hanged by soldiers of the Lithuanian auxiliary troops under the command of Major Impulyavichus.

Lately the hanged girl was identified as Masha Bruskina who was a Jewess. This girl was also identified as Shura Linevich as well. One woman also identified this girl as Natasha who worked at the Minsk Military Hospital as a nurse assistance. Unfortunately no one could provide good quality photo images for her identifictaion. And this hanged girl is still identified as "unknown." We found one episode from an unknown movie (apparently it was made in Israel) about execution of Masha Bruskina and put it on the website. Belarus government is still denying the fact that the hanged girl was Masha Bruskina.

| I'm astounded by how so many people can comment flippantly about such an evil crime. War is terrible. "Lately" she was identified? How about 50 years ago she was properly identified as Masha Bruskina. The reason she was killed is that she aided in the murder of a German soldier, probably as a payback from murders they had committed. She and the others died for something they believed in.. (standing up to evil). More than most can say. |

| The color photo and the film that is in the link are from a Swedish movie about the incident. The hanging girl is a life-sized, very realistic doll that was made for the movie. That's what I heard, anyway. These three people, and many other brave heros knew the risks they were taking. They knew that if they were caught they would die by agonizingly slow strangulation at the end of a rope with the whole town watching. Brave people, but a tough way to go. |

| Regarding the individual who reflected glee at this girls fate, had I been an Allied officer, he would have had an opportuntinty to dance a the end of American or Russin rope. |

| This is such a haunting series of photographs. The Pig putting the rope around their necks apparently lived out his days peacefully and died in Munster in the sixties. I would have gladly strung him up! In two of the photographs you can clearly see that some of the soldiers are sickened by this. One officer in the foreground is refusing to watch as is a soldier in the background (second from the right). Not all soldiers were nazis but more should have stood up against this barbaric act. |
