World IN BRIEF : FRANCE : Dachau Survivors Gather at Reunion
About 300 survivors of the Nazi concentration camp at Dachau in West Germany gathered to remember the joys of liberation by U.S. troops 45 years ago and the horrors that went before. Participants said the gathering at Brive-la-Gaillarde, southwest of Paris, was the largest such reunion ever and the first to which Eastern Europeans were free to attend. The highlight of the reunion at the Edmond Michelet Center, a resistance museum, was an exhibit of memorabilia from Dachau, including documents and photographs. Nazi records say nearly 32,000 prisoners died there, but thousands of deaths were not recorded.
