Brest is a city in southwest Belarus on the Polish border. The 19th-century Brest Hero Fortress is a celebrated site of Soviet resistance during WWII. The fortress complex includes a museum, bullet-riddled Kholmsk Gate and the huge Thirst Monument, depicting a parched soldier. Nearby, the open-air Railway Museum displays historic locomotives. Berestye Archaeological Museum preserves a 13th-century Slavic village.
