Posted on the right is a column composed of the observations of Patrick Gordon Walker (1907 - 1980), a broadcast journalist with the BBC who was present with the British Army when they liberated the Bergen-Belsen Death Camp on April 15, 1945.

"There are three main classes in the camp: the healthy who have managed to keep themselves decent, but nearly all of these had typhus; then there were the sick who were more or less cared for by their friends; then there was a vast underworld that had lost all self-respect, crawling around in rags, living in abominable squalor, defecating in the compound, often mad or half-mad. By the other prisoners they are called musulmen. It is these who are still dying like flies. They can hardly walk on their legs. Thousands still of these cannot be saved, and if they were, they would be in lunatic asylums for the short remainder of their pitiful lives."
