MUNICIPAL CREMATORIUM KOLN

Dead prisoners from the sub KL Bochum ( SS-Baubrigade III) were cremated in the crematorium of the Kolner West cemetary. These 13 unknown prisoners were blown up in Bochum on 12 August 1943 when defusing unexploded bombs. Today exists a dedication to the war victims of the Nationalsocialists in the area of the cemetary.
