German village welcomes Leusden relatives with open arms

“The pain is still palpable here. These were places of horror.” Mayor Gerolf Bouwmeester commemorates residents of the municipality of Leusden who died in Wöbbelin. It was a terrible place for prisoners, but relatives were welcomed with open arms by villagers. “The contrast cannot be greater than then.”
