(Jewish Group) Buchenwald: Vandals chop down trees dedicated to Holocaust victims

The Buchenwald concentration camp memorial said Thursday seven trees dedicated to the memory of victims of the Nazi camp in eastern Germany have been chopped down.

"We are shocked by this targeted attack on this memorial," the Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora Memorials Foundation tweeted after the discovery this week.

It posted pictures showing the trees severed about halfway up the trunk, and said it was "appalled at the deliberate attack on remembrance."




The foundation has filed a complaint with the police.

Memorial spokesperson Rikola-Gunnar Lüttgenau said the trees, which were located outside the memorial's actual grounds, had been dedicated to the children who died at Buchenwald.
