A 96-year-old Holocaust survivor was among those killed Friday in Ukraine by a Russian airstrike.
Boris Romanchenko, who survived four Nazi concentration camps, was killed when his multistory apartment building in Kharkiv was hit by a Russian airstrike, relatives confirmed to the Buchenwald Memorial Institute."We are deeply disturbed," the institute wrote in a tweet."Romantschenko campaigned intensively for the memory of the Nazi crimes."
Как мы узнали от его близких, наш друг Борис Романченко, который пережил нацистские лагеря #Buchenwald, #Peenemünde, #Dora и #BergenBelsen, был убит в прошлую пятницу в результате взрыва бомбы в своем доме в #Харькове. Мы глубоко встревожены. pic.twitter.com/hgJeL6gkGT Grassroots organizations have worked to evacuate Holocaust survivors in Ukraine, among other vulnerable groups, who find themselves stuck in another atrocious conflict.
“These are already survivors of severe trauma,” Entin, the granddaughter of a Ukrainian Holocaust survivor, told the Associated Press.
