When Bergen-Belsen was handed over to British troops in April 1945, little could have prepared them for what they saw at the concentration camp. Belsen had originally been built as a prison for those arrested in Nazi Germany itself. However, as the war in Europe drew to a close in 1945, prisoners from Eastern Europe had been moved to the camp. When the British got to Belsen on April 15th, the prisoners were in appalling conditions and between 400 to 500 were dying each day. 16,190 total views

Francis, George Fisher (113th LAA)
I recently discovered a small book of poetry which was written by my Dad prior and during WW2. He wasn’t the greatest poet, but its treasured by the family and I thought it would be a nice touch to create a photobook for our family. 19,685 total views
