Mass grave discovered near Oranienburg
■ Excavations in the Potsdam district / dead one above the other
Oranienburg (dpa) - Barely 40 years after the dissolution of the Soviet internment camp at Oranienburg in the GDR district of Potsdam, a mass grave was dug on Friday. Soldiers of the National People's Army (NVA) released within a few hours in several groups in Schmachtenhagener forest human skeletons, which were buried only one meter underground. Skull and bones lay close together. The soldiers who volunteered for this major excavation also found bullet casings and rusty rectangular dog tags.

I join the wandering tom, a memory of people who continued to be killed after the war, only from a different side. That was never allowed to be talked about and is now also not properly dealt with.

A place of remembrance for the dead that one could not talk about for so long.
