The visit provided students with an opportunity to hear from those who were there and could testify to the true extent of the Nazi crimes that were committed against innocent men, women and children.  We also learned about the efforts that were made by the British army following the liberation of the camp to contain the spread of disease and save the lives of the thousands of people who would have perished without their care. 

The aim of the project is to remember the victims of the Holocaust and to ensure that their memory survives, through this accepting a collective responsibility to reflect on and honour the legacy of Bergen Belsen.
