He came out alive from the Nazi concentration camp Buchenwald and Dora-Mittelbau. But on Friday, Barry Romanchenko, 96, a Holocaust survivor, did not make it out alive when the apartment building where he lived in Kharkov was hit by Russian artillery.
"To our great horror we announce the death of Barysh Romanchenko in the war in Ukraine," the Buchenwald Memorial Foundation said in a press release issued yesterday, explaining that it was informed by his granddaughter.
The apartment building where he lived "was hit by shells and set on fire," it explained. "His apartment was burned," the institution continued, expressing its mourning for the death of this "close friend."
