Donations Pour in for Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora Memorials Thanks to Böhmermann and Schulz
Thanks to comedians Jan Böhmermann and Olli Schulz, the Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora Memorials Foundation is seeing a surge in donations. The Weimar-based foundation is overjoyed with the appeal, expressing gratitude to both entertainers and all donors.
In their popular podcast, Böhmermann and Schulz named the foundation as a worthy recipient of their annual fundraising campaign, "The Festive and Fluffy Christmas Circus." The event is set to take place on December 16 at the Berlin Natural History Museum.
Found in the towns of Weimar and Nordhausen, these memorials have a rich historical significance. They served as concentration camps during World War II, where around 280,000 individuals from across Europe were deported to Buchenwald, with approximately 56,000 losing their lives. In Mittelbau-Dora, 60,000 prisoners were forced to labor, resulting in 20,000 fatalities.
