I discovered yesterday that the Yahrzeit of the more than 600 holocaust victims that died על קידוש השם and are buried/were burned in a mass grave in the new jewish cemetery is the same day as the Yahrzeit of Rav Nachum Sofer.
So next time you go on the Yahrzeit to Rav Nachum Sofer you have to go also to the new cemetery to daven.
Did Rav Nachum arrange this so from now on people will come on his Yahrzeit to this mass grave too!?
I have not really found an english or german description but from what I gathered, a train with about 5000 KZ Buchenwald prisoners left Buchenwald to go to Flossenburg.
The train ride ended on the 13th of April 1945
(Fri, 13 April 1945 = 30th of Nisan, 5705 ל׳ בְּנִיסָן תש״ה )
in Tachov with 2500 left alive. About 400 died on the way and were thrown out of the train while driving or were put into the last 2 train wagons.
200 that were not able to walk were killed in Tachov and burned.
The living were put to a death march and the dead were buried in a mass grave in Tachov.
