The Niederkaina massacre was a war crime committed by Red Army soldiers on 22 April 1945, in the final days of World War II, in the village of Niederkaina (now a district of Bautzen) in Lusatia. Approximately 200 German prisoners of war, members of the Volkssturm, were killed; nearly all were burned alive in a barn.
