British troops liberate Bergen-Belsen

📅 15 April 1945 📍 Duitsland

British troops liberated Bergen-Belsen, where surviving prisoners included Sinti and Roma. They encountered mass death, disease and extreme deprivation. Emergency treatment could not prevent many further deaths. Liberation therefore needs to be recorded alongside survival, bereavement and the continuing consequences of camp imprisonment.
