A 96-year-old Holocaust survivor, Borys Romanchenko, was killed Friday by a Russian strike on the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. Romanchenko's death was confirmed by the Buchenwald concentration camp memorial institute in a series of tweets. Romanchenko survived the camps at Buchenwald, Peenemünde, Dora and Bergen-Belsen during World War II, the memorial said, adding that it was "stunned" by news of his death.

Anyone lost is tragic. It's just that this brings past history to present full fold.

This is pure propaganda anyways, so no, the propagandists will need to do better.

And before you accuse me of taking Russia’s side, know that I am sick of the propaganda eminating from either side.

Re: 9 - thank you and good points, all.

The amount of disinformation flying back and forth is incredible. The MSM, alt-media, FR, etc. It’s all the Wild West.

Maybe Putin could tell us how many Nazis he has removed from the ranks of the living. This was probably not one of them anyway. I am guessing he is up to around 15, maybe 20 at this point. Seems like overkill to run up a large death toll on both sides to get rid of a few Nazis. The aging process does a better job.

Babies dying ain’t enough anymore for the hate-Putin crowd. They need a victim with a story.

I usually prefer Flx relatively to CNN but the link is general on various updates... which is why I posted the CNN piece.

We will say Kadish for him. And the Jewish President of the Ukraine will avenge his death, and all the others, and it will not be pretty.

Putin is lucky the Ukraine does not have NORK missiles because all it would take is 1 aimed at the Kremlin
