📅 23 February 1945 📍

German soldiers removed sick Roma prisoners under the pretext of taking them to a hospital and murdered 26 people near the local armaments factory. The exhumation evidence showed that some victims had been buried alive. The killing followed confinement and a typhus epidemic, turning a need for medical care into a pretext for murder.
