96-year-old Nazi concentration camp prisoner Borys Romanchenko died in Kharkiv as a result of Russian shelling, reported Suspilne.
“A shell hit the apartment complex, everything burned down. All that was left were bones on the armored mesh of the bed where he was laying. He lived in that apartment in Saltivka for over 30 years, recently he was living alone. I suggested he leave but he declined. He didn’t walk well, had bad hearing, he didn’t want to leave,” said his granddaughter Yulia Romanchenko.
Borys Romanchenko survived the Holodomor and was a prisoner at both Mittelbau-Dora and Buchenwald concentration camps.
According to Yulia Romanchenko it is very difficult to move and bury his body because Northern Saltivka, where he lived, is being shelled:
“Right now private organizations are asking 23-25 thousand to bury him, and around 5 thousand hryvnias to move the body. I appealed to municipal services, they told me to wait five months. I want to bury my grandfather.”
