The authorities say the excavation work is expected to take three weeks
The authorities in Germany have begun excavating a site they believe contains one of the last undiscovered mass graves of Jews killed by the Nazis...

...Investigators were forbidden from excavating the site under communist rule in East Germany because a Soviet camp, where thousands also lost their lives, operated there after the war. Houses were later built on the land.

This could be very interesting as the process of "De-Nazification" was
handled in a different manner in the Soviet Zone of Occupation, keep
in mind that for nearly 50 years the Katyn massacre in Poland was
blamed on "German" hands.
