Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, located near the town of Bergen in Germany, was established by the Nazi regime in 1940. Initially intended as a prisoner-of-war camp, it was later converted into a concentration camp. Bergen-Belsen became infamous for its appalling conditions, severe overcrowding, and lack of adequate food, water, and sanitation. By the end of World War II, tens of thousands of prisoners, including a significant number of Jewish inmates, had perished due to starvation, disease, and inhumane treatment. The camp was liberated by British forces on April 15, 1945, revealing the horrific extent of the atrocities committed there.
