Bergen-Belsen Memorial

The Bergen-Belsen Memorial is a site in Germany that honors victims of the Holocaust and World War II atrocities. Originally a prisoner-of-war camp, it became a concentration camp where many, including Jews, Roma, and political prisoners, suffered and died due to inhumane conditions. After the war, the site was preserved as a memorial to remember and educate about this dark chapter in history. Today, it features a museum, exhibitions, and a cemetery, serving as a place for reflection, remembrance, and promoting awareness of the Holocaust's horrors to ensure such events are never repeated.
