Between 1941 and 1945 as many as 70,000 inmates died at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in northwestern Germany. The exact number will never be known. A large number of these deaths were caused by malnutrition and disease, mainly typhus, shortly before and after liberation.It was at this time, in April of 1945, that Michael Hargrave answered a notice at the Westminster Hospital Medical School for 'volunteers'. On the day of his departure the 21-year-old learned that he was being sent to Bergen-Belsen, liberated only two weeks before.This firsthand account, a diary written for his mother, details Michael's month-long experience at the camp. He compassionately relates the horrendous living conditions suffered by the prisoners, describing the sickness and disease he encountered and his desperate, often fruitless, struggle to save as many lives as possible. Amidst immeasurable horrors, his descriptions of the banalities of everyday life and diagrams of the camp's layout take on a new poignancy, while anatomic line drawings detail the medical conditions and his efforts to treat them. Original newspaper cuttings and photographs of the camp, many previously unpublished, add a further layer of texture to the endeavors of an inexperienced medical student faced with extreme human suffering.

Poems Born in Bergen-Belsen 0.42

''I am vain enough to believe that this diary may be found hundreds of years from now and serve as an important source of information...'' In early 1943, Mirjam Levie from Amsterdam, began to write letters to her fiance Leo Bolle, who had immigrated to Eretz Israel a few years earlier. Her letters, which were never sent, were written during the deportations from Amsterdam, her incarceration in Westerbork, and her imprisonment in Bergen Belsen. As secretary in the ''Jewish Council of Amsterdam,'' Mirjam's letters are the only source remaining to describe events from the viewpoint of one of its members. The book presents these unique and moving letters, forming a personal diary of real time.

A remarkable story about perseverance and what it means to save another’s life: The book tells the stories of two people whose paths, if not for war, would never have crossed. They were from different realms of Europe: Brigadier Glen Hughes was a British officer, who had captained rugby teams and practiced medicine after his service in the Great War. Rachel Genuth - who would grow up to become author Bernice Lerner’s mother - was born in Sighet, Romania. She and her family would undergo unimaginable horrors of the Holocaust, and by war’s end she was near death in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Brigadier Hughes was serving as the British Army’s Deputy Director of Medical Services when he was called upon to be the first of the allies to enter Bergen-Belsen in April of 1945. He would go on to liberate the camp, and save Rachel’s life. In To Met In Hell, an accomplished Holocaust scholar turns to the question that was always crucial for her: who was the man who saved her mother’s life? While so many had perished, how were thousands of camp prisoners saved and what was this experience like for those who liberated them? How did Hughes carry the knowledge of what he had seen, and Rachel, what she had endured? Weaving together Rachel’s story and Hughes’ over the course of the momentous final year of the war, we see the personal fallout for both those being crushed by Hitler’s reign and those who fought their way across Europe to stop him at all costs.

“I find it hard even now to get into focus all these horrors, my mind is really quite incapable of taking in everything I saw because it was all so completely foreign to everything I had previously believed or thought possible.” British Major Ben Barnett’s words echoed the sentiments shared by medical students, Allied soldiers, members of the clergy, ambulance drivers, and relief workers who found themselves utterly unprepared to comprehend, much less tend to, the indescribable trauma of those who survived at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.The liberation of Bergen-Belsen by the British in April 1945 was a defining point in history: the moment the world finally became inescapably aware of the Holocaust. But what happened after Belsen was liberated is still a matter of dispute. Was it an epic of medical heroism or the culmination of thirteen years of indifference to the fate of Europe’s Jews? This startling investigation by acclaimed documentary filmmaker and historian Ben Shephard draws on an extraordinary range of materials–contemporary diaries, military documents, and survivors’ testimonies–to reconstruct six weeks at Belsen beginning on April 15, 1945, and reveals what actually caused the post-liberation deaths of nearly 14,000 concentration camp inmates who might otherwise have lived. Why did it take almost two weeks to organize a proper medical response? Why were the medical teams sent to Belsen so poorly equipped? Why, when specialists did arrive, did they get so much of the medicine plain wrong?For the first time, Shephard explores the humanitarian and medical issues surrounding the liberation of the camp and provides a detailed, illuminating account that is far more complex than had been previously revealed. This gripping book confronts the terrifying aftermath of war with questions that still haunt us today.

At the height of the Holocaust it was Nazi policy to preserve small groups of ""privileged"" Jews for possible use in exchanges with Allied-held German civilians. Held in the special ""Sternlager"" at Bergen-Belsen their ""privilege"" amounted to being kept alive rather than gassed - although 70 per cent of the internees perished before the camp's liberation, victims of disease, starvation, beatings or sheer despair.One such privileged internee - Abel Herzberg, a Dutch lawyer and writer - managed in the hell of Bergen-Belsen to keep a diary which chronicles the reality of daily existence in the camp, with its grotesquely dehumanizing conditions and the magnanimity and pettiness which they engendered. He describes the relations between inmates and the civic code of the internees.

Orlin was a volunteer for the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee at the displaced persons camp that had been a concentration camp under the Nazis. She assembled over a thousand photographs of Jews at the camp awaiting repatriation after the war. The album is now at the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation in Amsterdam, which jointly published the selection of images. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Inseparable: The Hess Twins' Holocaust Journey Through Bergen-Belsen to America 1.3

Born in Amsterdam in 1935, Suzanne Mehler Whiteley saw the ravages of war through a child's eyes. Her memoir, written in the voice of a young girl, describes the years before the invasion of Holland, her experiences during the German occupation, her time spent in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, and her childhood afterward in Europe and then the United States. Appel Is Forever describes in a child's words atrocities that should never be seen by anyone. Through young Suzanne's introspection, readers are invited to see beyond the history of events to their deeper meaning. We come to see how the miracle of having survived opens a child up to the potential for playfulness and even happiness, while a young girl's observations of coming to her new country remind us of both the promises and hardships of the American dream.

In this disturbing but inspirational account of her experiences of the Holocaust, Lucille Eichengreen relates her journey as a young Jewish girl through Nazi Germany and Poland - including internment in the camps at Auschwitz, Neuengamme, and Bergen-Belsen. It was a journey that began in 1933, when she was eight years old and witnessed the beginnings of Jewish persecution, a journey along which she suffered the horrible deaths of her father, mother and sister. Sustained by great courage and resourcefulness, Lucille Eichengreen emerged from her nightmare with the inner strength to build a new life for herself in the United States. Only in 1991 did she return to Germany and Poland to assess the Jewish situation there. Her story is a testament to the very thing the Holocaust sought to destroy: the regeneration of Jewish life. Blessed with a remarkable memory that made her one of the most effective witnesses in the postwar trial of her persecutors, Eichengreen has composed a memoir of exceptional accuracy. As important as its factual accuracy is its emotional clarity and truth. Simple and direct, Eichengreen's words compel with their moral authority.
