The Belsen Trial
Excerpts from The Trial of Josef Kramer and 44 others: The Belsen Trial.
“…In March American and British forces crossed the Rhine River in Germany and a few weeks later, on April 15, 1945, the British 11th Armoured Division overran Bergen-Belsen and liberated the concentration camp.
But they came too late for you Because your heart stopped beating by then.”
From Paul Hartal, “MEETING IN BELSEN,” For Anne Frank, 1929-1945.
