Boris Romanchenko, 96, was killed last week when a missile struck his apartment building in Kharkiv, according to the Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora Memorials Foundation.
“It is with horror that we report the violent death of Boris Romantschenko in the war in Ukraine,” read a statement on the website of the Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora Memorials Foundation. The foundation said it learned of the elderly man’s death from his son and granddaughter.Romantschenko’s “horrific death,” the statement continued, “shows how threatening the war in Ukraine is for concentration camp survivors.
Romantschenko was born in 1926 in Bondari, near the city of Sumy in northern Ukraine. In 1942, he was deported to the German city of Dortmund, where he became a forced laborer, according to the Buchenwald foundation.
