(Tuesday, April 24, 1945; part of The Holocaust during World War II) — Eyewitnesses today provided filmed testimonies of the Nazi concentration camp Bergen-Belsen, liberated Apr. 15, 1945, in Lower Saxony in northern Germany, southwest of the town of Bergen near Celle, by British and Canadian troops.

From 1941 to 1945, almost 20,000 Soviet prisoners of war and a further 50,000 inmates died there, with up to 35,000 of them dying of typhus in the first few months of 1945, shortly before and after the liberation (including diarist Anne Frank and her older sister Margot Frank).
