Brest is located in southwestern Belarus.  The team traveled to this city after it had finished the work in the Indura and Sopotskin cemeteries.  The visitation of Brest was used as a reflection period where participants could relax and look back on what had been experienced.  Some site-seeing and shopping was done in Brest.  Brest hosts one of the most historical fortresses in the world.
