Germany - Remains Of 34 Holocaust survivor's Will Not Be Identified

Germany - After the discovery of 34 bodies buried in a mass grave from World War II, on a U.S. Army base by construction workers in September, the German authorities launched an attempt to identify the remains and locate the victims' relatives, but some rabbis reject DNA tests as part of a larger precept of honouring the dead, and German, so officials dropped the idea.

But some holocaust survivors expressed disappointment over the German decision not to conduct the DNA tests on the bodies found, dashing the hopes of identifying some remains.
