A mass grave of hundreds of women and children has been unearthed at a former Nazi concentration camp in Russia.

The remains of 500 victims have been found, many showing gunshot wounds and evidence of torture. Other inmates are believed to have died from malnutrition and disease.

Some 64 state investigators and search volunteers are currently working at the site, which was part of Dulag-191 in Voronezh region.

Harrowing video footage shows excavators unearthing skulls and body parts in an area occupied by Hitler's forces during the Second World War.

'The estimated death toll is about 500 people,' said Mikhail Segodin, head of the Don search volunteer squad. 'The main contingent of the camp was made up of women and children'

Archives suggest that overall 8,500 people perished at Dulag-191, a German transit camp set up in Russian territory.  (more...)
