From Times Staff and Wire Reports
A German company said it is willing to drop plans to build a supermarket on the site of the Ravensbrueck concentration camp, where nearly 100,000 women and children were killed by the Nazis.

An official of the Tengelmann store group, which owns the chain, said it is willing to drop the project “without demanding compensation.”
