A memorial stone marking Anne and her sister Margot's death in Bergen-Belsen
Paul, who was tracking down his grandfather’s grave, met with several Holocaust survivors, whose clues led him and a research team to the spot.
The spot is located at the end of the former main road of the camp, which was liberated in April 1945.
Although researchers believe they have identified the correct location, the claims can not be verified.
According to The Mirror, Jens-Christian Wagner, director of the Bergen-Belsen memorial said further investigation of the grave is prohibited under Jewish law:
“We have consulted the Jewish community of Lower Saxony and according to religious laws no digging is allowed.
"That’s why there’s a decision not to start a dig. In any case, the whole camp has been declared a cemetery.”
