Report: Obama to visit Buchenwald concentration camp next month

US President Barack Obama is preparing to follow in the footsteps of his great-uncle, Charlie, with a visit to the Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany when he returns to Europe this summer, the London-based Time newspaper reported.

The White House has yet to confirm the claim, but almost every senior official in the states of Thüringia and Saxony already appears to have been informed about the impending trip, the reports said. Secret Service advance units are said to have checked out the hotel, a restored palace, where he may stay in Dresden. (Ynet)
