| In April 1943 the Nazis created Bergen-Belsen
extermination camp in Lower Saxony (Germany) from what had been a prisoner-of-war camp for French and
Belgian prisoners.
Anne Frank ended up in Bergen-Belsen after being evacuated from Auschwitz in October, 1944. As starvation. cold and disease swept through the camp's population, Anne, in April, 1945, succumbed to disease a few weeks before the camp was liberated by the British. She was 15 years old. On that liberation day the British found 10,000 unburied corpses and 40,000 sick and dying prisoners. Among the living inmates, 28,000 died after the liberation. |
