Holocaust survivor Andrej Iwanowitsch Moiseenko from Belarus attends the commemoration ceremony to mark the 78th anniversary of the liberation of the Buchenwald Nazi concentration camp at the camp’s memorial site in Buchenwald, near Weimar, eastern Germany, on April 16, 2023. – Buchenwald as well as the camp Mittelbau-Dora were liberated by the United States Army in April 1945. More than 76,000 men, women and children died at Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora during World War II. They were either killed by the Nazis or perished through illness, cold or starvation. Thousands of Jews were among the dead, but also Roma, gypsies and political opponents of the Nazis, gays and Soviet prisoners of war. (Photo by JENS SCHLUETER / AFP)
