Leslie H. Hardman, a Jewish chaplain, entered Belsen camp two days
after its liberation by the British Army. This book tells the story
of what he found there, and what he did. The horror which first
confronts him is overwhelming, and something other than himself
makes him stay and face it. In the beginning he feels he is making
no inroads into the task he has set himself, that he is a pigmy
grappling with a mountain. But with courage and patience he brings
faith, comfort and help to the stricken survivors. In his mission
he meets some remarkable men and women: Marta the woman doctor,
Yankel the strong man, Eva whose love is oddly deflected, Joseph
who rises to astonishing heights, and many others. He himself is
enmeshed in the life of liberated Belsen, experiencing hope,
despair, intolerance, inspiration. This book is an authentic
record, written with compassionate understanding. The account of
the rebirth of the almost dehumanised survivors is an inspiring,
rather than a harrowing narrative. In the simplicity and sincerity
of its writing, it tells a moving and vivid story of a crime which
has shocked the world, but which should be read and remembered.
