The remains of 500 people have been unearthed at a former Nazi concentration camp called Dulag-191 in Russia’s Voronezh region. A gruesome mass grave of murdered women and children has been unearthed at a former Nazi concentration camp in Russia. The remains of some 500 victims have been found, many showing gunshot wounds and evidence of torture. Other inmates are believed to have died from malnutrition and disease. Some 64 state investigators and search volunteers are currently working at the macabre and long-suspected site, part of a sinister hell camp system called Dulag-191 in Voronezh region. Harrowing video footage shows diggers unearthing skulls and body parts in an area occupied by Hitler’s forces during the Second World War. “The estimated death toll is about 500 people,” said Mikhail Segodin, head of the Don search volunteer squad, referring to this specific mass burial.

The current search for human remains concentrates on 15 pits – mass graves each containing between 30 and 100 remains in the vicinity of Lushnikovo village, Ostrogozhsky district. “Judging by the remains unearthed so far we see shot wounds, blunt traumas, in other words, broken bones,” said Mr Segodin. “The site is complicated because it was a camp for women and children.” The human remains are in a poor state, he said.
