Commemoration: outrage at the destruction of memorial trees for concentration camp victims

The International Auschwitz Committee described the destruction of seven memorial trees for victims of the Nazi concentration camp in Buchenwald near Weimar as a "hateful and calculated demonstration of power by neo-Nazis". The Buchenwald-Dora camp community and Thuringia's Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow (left) also reacted with outrage on Thursday.
