Bergen-Belsen, situated near Hanover, was officially a
Krankenlager (sick camp). In fact, it was first an
internment camp and then, from July 1943, a
concentration camp. One of its two sections was used for the ‘privileged’, such as political prisoners and Jews of foreign nationality being held for use in repatriation deals. By March 1945 its numbers had swelled to 60,000, and typhus and other epidemics swept the camps.
Anne Frank was imprisoned and later died here. When the British liberated it the following month they found, according to one source, 10,000 unburied dead and mass graves containing 40,000 bodies. Of the 38,500 who remained alive, perhaps as many as 28,000 died soon afterwards. See also
