Many well-documented tragedies have helped shape our lives today, as the horror stories from World War I and II are retold during certain events like Armistice Day [Remembrance Day] and ANZAC Day.

In February this year, a previously undocumented mass grave was discovered during construction work for a luxury residential building and shopping mall in the city of Brest, in Belarus. According to a Euro news report, human remains were found in two 20-meter-long pits up to 4 meters deep in places.
