July 21, 2022 16:49Seven trees dedicated to the victims of the Nazi Buchenwald concentration camp have been chopped down in a “depraved and appalling” attack.
The trees were planted along a route outside the camp along which prisoners of the Nazis were taken.
One of the trees attacked was dedicated to the children murdered at the camp. The other six trees were planted by the wives, children, and grandchildren of victims of the Nazi genocide.
The foundation that runs the memorial tweeted: “We are appalled at the deliberate attack on remembrance.”
