To the British in 1945 the images of Bergen-Belsen concentration
camp said everything necessary to illustrate and prove the extent
of Nazi barbarity, yet the grim newsreel footage and radio reports
did not tell the whole story. Over the following decades these
potent representations became encrusted with myths and meanings
that distorted the actuality of Belsen. Fifty years after the
liberation of the camp, scholars and eyewitnesses can finally
explore the extraordinary history of the camp, the experiences of
the inmates and the work of the liberators. This volume presents
the most authoritative recent scholarship on Belsen by British,
American, German, French and Israeli historians. Drawing on
documentary and oral sources in Yiddish, Hebrew, German, Dutch and
French, often for the first time, it challenges many stereotypes
about the camp, and reinstates the groups hitherto marginalised or
ignored in accounts of the camp and its liberation.
