Held as part of the Traces of Belsen exhibition event series.
We welcome Sue Vice and Dan Stone in conversation about Bergen-Belsen’s importance in British Holocaust awareness. Vice and Stone will describe the significance that the liberation of Bergen-Belsen holds in British public awareness, such as in schools, memorials, museums, and films.
Marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the camp, the Traces of Belsen exhibition uses evidence remaining of the camp to tell the full story of not just the liberation, which has often been the moment in its history remembered in Britain, but also the history of the camps at Bergen-Belsen during the Nazi era and then post-war.
