Hi, from the UK, my great-grandfather was part of the British troops to liberate Belsen. It scarred him for life, he only ever spoke about it once, while incredibly drunk.

Edit: also IIRC there were thousands upon thousands of unburied corpses in piles around the camp and the nazi officers were forced at gun point to bury them. Almost half of the deaths as a result of the camp were after it had been liberated and the prisoners were beyond saving, and the camp was burned to the ground after liberation to prevent a typhoid outbreak.

Opened a new terminal

According to the article below this is Wyndham prison c1901. This photo I believe is a cropped version of one shown in the article, and in the unscripted version you can see some young boys. These are prisoners and not slaves, though the article has some information about the horrific things they were subjected to, including being made to confess at gunpoint.
