Bergen-Belsen
"In a hut for 400 people, there was one toilet, and the toilet
was always out of order. Everybody suffered from diarrhoea. If we wanted to
walk, there were also toilets in the field, but people could not walk, since
they were ill." (From the Testimony of Joseph Melkman during the trial of Adolf Eichmann.)
Film clips from the
liberation of Bergen-Belsen are included in this tape of the 1995 Yom
Hashoa ceremony, held at the site of the notorious concentration camp.
Holocaust deniers often claim that
the only reason camp victims starved was that the Allies bombed supply
lines... view these film clips and note the obviously well-fed,
healthy appearance of German military and civilian personnel, and
decide for yourself:

The Belsen Trial
"...In March American and British forces
crossed the Rhine River in Germany
and a few weeks later, on April 15, 1945,
the British 11th Armoured Division
overran Bergen-Belsen
and liberated the concentration camp.
But they came too late for you
Because your heart stopped beating by then."
From Paul Hartal, "MEETING IN
BELSEN," For Anne Frank, 1929-1945.
