May 9th is approaching - the day of the Great Victory. This holiday reminds us of how our grandfathers and great-grandfathers defended our Homeland from fascism at the cost of their own lives. It is important to convey to children and youth the full significance of those war years. For this purpose, an event was held with students "Heroes of the Great Patriotic War". The students were introduced to the history and biography of the heroes of the Kazakh SSR, including the Pavlodar region. Books about the war were also shown.
