JAKARTA - Boris Romanchenko once survived the sadistic massacre committed against the Jews by the Nazi regime. But his life was ended precisely by a Russian missile attack on the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv.
Boris Romanchenko is a Holocaust survivor whose house was burned down in an attack by Russian troops.
This 96-year-old man has gone through such a cruel life experience in World War II.
He survived after being held in four concentration camps during World War. Boris Romanchenko, who lived through the Nazi prisons of Buchenwald, Peenemunde, Dora, and Bergen-Belsen, was killed on Friday, March 18 in the block of flats where he lived.
"A bullet hit the multi-story building where he lived. His apartment caught fire", wrote the memorial to the German Buchenwald concentration camp as quoted by ABC News, Tuesday, March 22.
Romanchenko was born in Ukraine in 1926 and deported to Dortmund in Germany in 1942. Here he was forced to work underground.
"He tried to escape but was captured and sent to the Buchenwald concentration camp in January 1943", the German Buchenwald concentration camp said.
At Peenemuende, he helped build the V-2 rockets that the Nazis used to bombard cities such as Antwerp, London, Paris, and Norwich, leaving thousands of civilians dead.
Later in his life, became vice president of the Buchenwald-Dora International Committee.
"We mourn the loss of a close friend. We wish his son and grandson, who brought us the sad news, much strength in these difficult times", said Germany's Buchenwald concentration camp.
