Bochum, Germany Tribute to Perished Migrants 

September 3, 2015

The Bochum State Theater in collaboration with a local trucking company, is organizing a memorial event dedicated to the 71 unidentified migrants who were found dead in a small truck on the side of an Austrian highway last week.
A truck identical to the one in which the migrants’ remains had been found was brought to a square in front of the theater and the public invited to enter in groups of 71 so as to experience the cramped conditions.
