PRAGUE (AP) — Germany’s president has visited the former Nazi concentration camp in Terezin where tens of thousands perished during the Holocaust.

Together with his Czech counterpart Milos Zeman, President Joachim Gauck laid a wreath Tuesday to honor some 35,000 victims who died there during the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia. More than 100,000 others were transported from Terezin to Auschwitz and other Nazi death camps.
