A 96-year-old man who survived the Nazi death-camps of Buchenwald, Peenemuende, Dora and Bergen-Belsen was killed Friday when his home in Kharkiv, Ukraine, came under Russian attack.
Boris Romanchenko’s death was announced Monday by Germany’s Buchenwald concentration camp memorial institute. Citing Romanchenko’s relatives, the memorial said he was killed after his home in Kharkiv was struck by apparent artillery fire.
“Boris Romantschenko campaigned intensively for the memory of the Nazi crimes,” the institute said on Twitter, adding that he had been vice president of the Buchenwald-Dora International Committee, a survivors’ organization.
