Borys Romanchenko, a 96-year-old non-Jewish Holocaust survivor who lived through four different Nazi concentration camps, was killed Friday in a Russian airstrike on the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv.

The Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora Memorials Foundation announced his death on Twitter on Monday.

“Survived Hitler, murdered by Putin,” Ukraine’s foreign minister tweeted Monday.

Romanchenko’s former concentration camp uniform, which he wore through stints at the Buchenwald, Peenemünde, Dora and Bergen-Belsen camps, featured a red triangle. That symbolized that he was likely either a political prisoner or a gentile who assisted Jews, among other non-Jewish categories.
