The Liberation Of Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp

As the Allies made advancements into German-occupied lands in the Second World War, they encountered a number of different concentration camps. Many of these showed the true evil of the Third Reich, and after liberating them, the Allies and the Red Army discovered the mass murder that had occurred within them. As World War Two turned against the Germans, they began to move prisoners from many different camps close to the front lines to Bergen-Belsen. Belsen was initially planned to house 10,000 prisoners, but huge overcrowding saw it house at one point around 90,000. Bergen-Belsen was one of the worst concentration camps, and due to the overcrowding there was a huge lack of food and resources. Many of the SS guards who worked here were also known for their barbaric torture and treatment of prisoners, and up until its liberation around 500 people were dying a day from disease, starvation or dehydration. Typhus swept through Belsen and caused thousands to be killed. In 1945, the Germans negotiated with the Allies to hand over Bergen-Belsen to them, but when the liberators went into the camp they were appalled and disgusted by what they saw. There were 13,000 unburied bodies left around the camp, and 60,000 survivors who were close to death. The British and Canadians sought to save as many people as they could and immediately organised medical supplies to go to the camp. There was some bloodshed after liberation as some guards took the fight to their former guards, but captured at Belsen were a number of guards including Josef Kramer, Irma Grese and Elisabeth Volkenrath. These were placed on trial and were sentenced to death. So join us today as we look at, 'The Liberation Of Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp.'
