Please visit our store at the link directly below for HUNDREDS of HISTORICAL NEWSPAPERS on sale or at PHOTO-----An ORIGINALNEWSPAPER,the St Louis Post-Dispatch (MO) dated Apr 21, 1945. This issue contains aprominent page 2 heading and a long detailed eyewitness \"first report\" describing the atrocities discovered atthe newly-liberated Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp in Nazi Germany. There is a photo of Josef Kramer, the camp\'s infamous commander, after his capture by the Allies when liberating the Camp from the Nazis.

This is a contemporary account of the HOLOCAUST against the Jews of Europe during WW II.

Bergen-Belsen (or Belsen) was a Nazi concentration camp in what is today Lower Saxony in northern Germany, southwest of the town of Bergen near Celle. Originally established as a prisoner of war camp, in 1943, parts of it became a concentration camp. Initially this was an \"exchange camp\", where Jewish hostages were held with the intention of exchanging them for German prisoners of war held overseas. The camp was later expanded to accommodate Jews from other concentration camps.

After 1945, the name was applied to the displaced persons camp established nearby, but it is most commonly associated with the concentration camp. From 1941 to 1945, almost 20,000 Soviet prisoners of war and a further 50,000 inmates died there, with up to 35,000 of them dying of typhus in the first few months of 1945, shortly before and after the liberation.

The camp was liberated on April 15, 1945, by the British 11th Armoured Division. The soldiers discovered approximately 60,000 prisoners inside, most of them half-starved and seriously ill, and another 13,000 corpses lying around the camp unburied. The horrors of the camp, documented on film and in pictures, made the name \"Belsen\" emblematic of Nazi crimes in general for public opinion in many countries in the immediate post-1945 period.

Josef Kramer (10 November 1906 – 13 December 1945) was the Commandant of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Dubbed \"The Beast of Belsen\" by camp inmates, he was a notorious German Nazi war criminal, directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of people. He was detained by the British army after the Second World War, convicted of war crimes and hanged on the gallows in Hamelin prison by British executioner Albert Pierrepoint.
