Remains preserved by Nazi doctor to be buried 74 years later

Tissue samples of resistance fighters killed by the Nazis will be buried in a ceremony on May 13, 74 years after the end of World War II, according to a Reuters report quoting the German Bild am Sonntag newspaper.

In 2016, tiny tissues samples were found at the estate of anatomy professor Hermann Stieve of the University of Berlin. He had received the dead bodies of German anti-Nazi fighters for dissection purposes, sometimes almost immediately after they were killed at the Berlin-Ploetzensee prison.
