300 Nazi resistance fighters were finally laid to rest on Monday, as their partial microscopic remains were buried in a solemn ceremony at a downtown Berlin cemetery. These resistance fighters were executed for standing up against Adolf Hitler's dictatorship for which they were denied graves. For the ceremony, a small wooden box was lowered into the square granite-edged plot with remains of the fighters, including that of Erika von Brockdorff who was beheaded in the Nazis' notorious Ploetzensee Prison on May 13, 1943 - exactly 76 years ago - for her involvement in the famous Red Orchestra resistance movement.
