Boris Romanchenko is one of the prisoners of the German concentration camps of Buchenwald, Peenemuende, Dora, and Bergen Belsen. But he failed to survive the Russian invasion.

The veteran was burnt in his bed

He survived in the Nazi camps — Buchenwald, Peenemunde, Dora, Bergen-Belsen — but didn’t survive the Russian invasion.

This is a tragic story of one prisoner of the German concentration camps - a 96-year-old Borys Romanchenko, who was killed by the Russian shelling of Kharkiv. A Russian bomb hit a residential multistoried building where he lived. The veteran was burnt in his bed; people managed to collect the remains of his body only several days later. On March 24, this man was buried.

Previously, Borys Romanchenko cooperated with the Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora Memorials Foundation and was the Vice-President of the International Committee Buchenwald-Dora.

He advocated for the need to remember the Nazi crimes. We will never forget.
