A mass grave has been detected at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in northern Germany.
The mass grave measures 16m by 4m (52ft by 13ft), and is believed to be the final resting place of Dutch Resistance activist Jan Verschure.
It was found using testimonies from ex-inmates of the camp, who were interviewed by Verschure’s grandson Paul, a history teacher and researcher on the project.
“One of them gave me a map on which he marked where my grandfather was buried,” Verschure told Dutch television news program Nieuwsuur.
