A German civilian exhumes a mass grave near Volary containing the bodies of Jewish women who died at the end of a death march from Helmbrechts, a sub-camp of Flossenbuerg. The woman, Mina Singer, is a survivor of the march, and was the oldest of the group. Actions like this were part of the Denazification process. This process was an attempt to rid Germany and Austria culture and society of nazi influence and ideology. A part of the process included confronting the public with the evidence of the crimes that were carried out in their area.
