After eighty years, the survivors remember the horrors of the camp

There were rumors. There were air photos. There was a written certificate for a few fugitives. But it took a liberation to reveal the shocking reality of Nazi camps.

This was not true more than that when the British and Canadian forces advanced in the camp in Bernen Bilgen, near Hanover, in April 1945.

A truce with local German leaders enabled them to enter without a fight. And Petica in the stomach, a panorama of human suffering.

The calculated forces were 13,000 unpaid bodies. Other 60,000 meager, sick, spectral -like survivors stood and put between them.

On Sunday, to celebrate the eighties of the liberation of Bilsen, more than a thousand survivors and families will attend the celebration of the camp.

“For me, Bilsen was the final blasphemy,” a British soldier, Michael Betin, who became after World War II, wrote a famous artist.

Other historians, filmmakers and teachers have struggled to convey the words and pictures that made the unwanted scenes in their minds.

The BBC was the first broadcaster to enter the camp shortly after liberation. In historical broadcasts, the words included: “This day was the most terrifying of my life.”

Belsen’s reputation soon emerged, not only because of the amazing living novels of journalists, soldiers and photographers, whose certificates were sent all over the world, but because they were simply found.

Other East camps, such as death camps in Treblinka, Sobibor and Auschwitz, were destroyed by the Germans to hide their crimes against Soviet progress or empty their prisoners.

In Pilsen, the huts, barracks and evidence remained.

In Pilsen, there were witnesses, perpetrators, victims.

There were many prisoners of these eastern camps. Overcrowding led to dysentery, malnutrition and triumph.

There were no gas rooms in Bilsen. Nazi cruelty and lack of efficiency was the 500 deaths on the day the camp was carrying.

Most of them came in the last weeks of the war, until April 1945.

With the collapse of the third Reich, freedom came to those in other occupied territories, death continued in Bilsen: between 50,000 and 70,000 people in total, more than 30,000 January and April 1945.

About 14,000 prisoners died after liberation, digestive systems are unable to overcome high calories and wealthy calories offered by chefs and goodwill paramedics.

The vast majority of Jews, with the prisoners of the Soviet war, Sinti and homosexuals from other groups, were flooded by the horrors of the camp.

Among the survivors and relatives who attended the event on Sunday is 180 British Jews. Their journey is organized by Ajex, the Jewish Military Association.

Walks will be placed by ancient veterans, as well as personalities, including Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rainer.

Psalm will be read by UK President Sir Ephraim Mervis.

They will do this amid the lower surveillance perimeter, where the clocks, fences and buildings went.

This is because, in the end, the disease contained, the British soldiers decided that they had to burn the huts in Bilsen.

Thus, today, little remains. The visitor center is a pivotal point, near where a handful of souvenirs and crosses have been built.

Inspection on one reading 5000 deaths here – Here is the rest of 5000 dead.

It is just one of the graves, one of the memories, which chases the herbal landscape.
