Consul For Public Affairs Visits Site Of WWII Atrocity In Gardelegen
June 28, 2008. Consul for Public Affairs Mark Wenig paid a visit to a memorial in the Saxon-Anhalt town of Gardelegen,, which was witness to one of the most senseless atrocities of WWII. Just days before the liberating U.S. Army arrived in the town, some 1016 sick and weak concentration camp death march survivors were burned alive in a barn on April 13, 1945, by retreating members of the SS. This visit, at the invitation and in the company of Mayor Konrad Fuchs, was scheduled to pay homage to these victims.
