Smorgon District in the 20-40s of the XX century

Peaceful time was short for the residents of Smorgon District. It was very complicated: the historical exposition calendar shows this. Many documents are in Polish, because our lands were part of Poland until 1939. There are also documents of the “enemies of the people” who were convicted during the period of Stalin repressions. Those people have been justified nowadays.
