Rühen

HERE LIE OVER 100 RUSSIAN AND POLISH CHILDREN WHO DIED BETWEEN 1944 AND 1945 AS VICTIMS OF NATIONALIST TYRANNY IN THE CHILDREN'S CAMP IN RÜHEN. SEVERAL-DAYS OLD NEWBORNS TAKEN AWAY FROM THEIR MOTHERS DIED IN A TERRIBLE WAY. THEIR DEATH WARNS US AGAINST FORGETTING ABOUT THE WAR AND ITS ATROCITIES. LET US REMEMBER NOT TO FORGET THE PAST AND LEARN FROM IT FOR THE FUTURE, HOPE AND ACT TO REPLACE HUMAN VIOLENCE WITH LIFE.

WE REMEMBER THE VICTIMS

Opposite the plot, there is a stone quadrilateral stele with the text of Our Father prayer in German.
