    5

    Potsdam, Germany – The excavation of a site where hundreds of Jewish victims of Nazi Germany are thought to be buried is due to start Wednesday, officials in Potsdam said Monday. The 5,000-square-metre area in the town of Jamlitz is thought to be the mass grave of 753 Jewish inmates of Lieberose subsidiary camp, shot by the Nazis in February 1945, Potsdam’s interior ministry said.

    If suspicions are confirmed, the site on the outskirts of Berlin would be Germany’s largest mass grave of Jewish victims outside of the main concentration camps.

    The excavations have only become possible after years of legal wranglings with the landowner were resolved.

    Amazing. Almost 64 years after the war’s end, they’re still finding the remains.

    I dont understand. WHy does the landowner have the right to fight an excavation for possible remains? Are they destroying a buildiong? Crops? Then what? He’s afraid it will become a recognized cemetery? So? WOuld he have built a building on the site? ANother blasted and cursed German who seeks to hide the truth at any cost. Mark my words – the Germans are the seeds of Amalek. May they all be destroyed soom.
