Burn, Baby, Burn
Bergen-Belsen concentration camp was located in Lower Saxony, northern Germany. Initially, the camp was meant to be an exchange camp, where Jewish hostages would be kept with the intention of using them as bargaining chips for German prisoners held overseas, but it was later on expanded to hold Jews from other concentration camps too.
Burning The Belsen Concentration Camp
The camp was liberated by the 11th Armoured Division who found 60,000 prisoners inside its grim walls. Apart from the half-starved and deathly ill inmates, there were also 13,000 corpses which had been left unburied, including those of Margot and Anne Frank. The camp was subsequently burned to the ground.
