The agency said that about 63,000 people, many of them former camp inmates, attended ceremonies at the site of Buchenwald in southwestern East Germany. It said that more than 10,000 assembled at a monument near the East Berlin suburb of Potsdam to honor the victims of Sachsenhausen. The report identified various European nationalities as among the death camp victims but made no mention of Jewish dead.
