Talk:Bergen-Belsen concentration camp

Pertinent information disclosed after liberation

Nowhere mentioned is factual material historically pertinent. It being the following as related by a Bergen Belsen prisoner who survived and was there at the camp’s liberation.

The Nazi Bergen Belsen camp officials anticipating the imminent arrival of Allied troops were determined to leave no prisoners alive to provide witness testimony. They denied prisoners all food and water for three days. For the fourth day a soup was to be served that would be readily consumed by the starving and dehydrated prisoners. A soup laced with poison. British troops arrived before the soup could be served. 2601:645:4300:3BF0:89C5:9BC6:6724:142D (talk) 21:28, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've been to the documentation center and this wasn't mentioned. It was quite thorough and I feel something of this importance would have been a topic. Nor have I heard of it anywhere else. But if you have a reliable source, please feel free to post it. Cfrhansen (talk) 00:08, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Photo of women

Is the photo labelled "Women Survivors in Bergen-Belsen, April 1945" shown correctly? It's mirror-imaged from the one in Shephard's After Daybreak: The Liberation of Bergen-Belsen, 1945 (reference 28). 199.192.151.199 (talk) 18:30, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
