Thanks for posting, I stay close to Bergen Belsen, I stumbled across it one day after taking some hitch hikers onto the Autobahn to Hamburg, just seeing the name on the plaque gave me the shivers. I would never visit it, such places make my blood run cold. However it is important that such places are preserved to stay the hand of the holocaust deniers. Interesting in the text that the Belgian SS were involved, all peoples are capable of such things so all peoples must be on their guard.
I visited Belsen Bergen a few years ago. So terrible and sad. Shivers up the spine.
How many of the camps are preserved in Germany? I think it is highly commendable of the German people, and all countries that housed these that the camps were not all destroyed and hidden in an attempt to let history fade into time, but rather preserved.
The two primary places I will visit when I return to Belgium next week will be Normandy beach and Bergen Belsen. I'm excited for both, yet a bit apprehensive also.
