Liberating Belsen Concentration Camp - A Personal Account by (former) Lt-Colonel Leonard Berney R.A. T.D. is the only book to be published that recounts the events that led up to the British Army’s uncovering of the Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp in 1945 and its 60,000 prisoners, how the Army dealt with the unprecedented horror that existed in the camp, how the surviving prisoners were rescued, how the inmates were evacuated, how the Royal Army Medical Corps established the world’s largest hospital to care for the many thousands of sick and emaciated ex-inmates, how the survivors were rehabilitated and cared for, how they were repatriated to their own countries, why many thousand refused to return ‘home’ and the eventual establishment of the Belsen Displaced Persons camp, the largest DP camp in Germany. The author of this book was a senior British Army officer who participated in the liberation of the Camp, who was in charge of evacuating the ex-prisoners to the vast Rehabilitation Camp that the Army set up, and who was then appointed as the Commandant of that Camp until its management was handed over to the United Nations, and who gave evidence against the SS guards at the Belsen War Crimes Trial. Leonard Berney is interviewed in 'Night Will Fall', a documentary about the liberation of Nazi Concentration Camps. The DVD of the documentary is the perfect accompaniment to this book, available here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Night-Will-Fall-Andr%C3%A9-Singer/dp/B00P6OOEQG Foreword by Nanette Blitz Konig, former classmate of Anne Frank; Foreword by Major-General Nicholas Eeles CBE, General Officer Commanding Scotland and Chairman of the Royal Artillery Historical Trust; and Introduction by Joshua Oppenhemer, Oscar nominated film director whose work include 'The Act of Killing' and 'The Look of Silence', both of which document the genocide that took place during the Indonesian killings of 1965-66,

About the Author Leonard Berney (1920-2016) was born in London. After leaving St Paul’s School, Hammersmith, in 1938, he joined the Territorial Army as a Second Lieutenant. At the beginning of 1939, he and his Anti-Aircraft Regiment were mobilized for full-time military service in the defence of London. He took part countering The Blitz and the V1 flying bomb attacks. In August 1944, he was in Normandy as the Staff Officer, Anti-Aircraft Defence, of XIII Corps of the British 21st Army. This is his personal account of his experience of the Liberation of Belsen Concentration Camp and as the Commander of the Belsen Camp for Displaced Persons that housed the survivors. Following his time at Belsen, he was appointed Military Governor of Schleswig-Holstein and was released from the army at the end of 1946, rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. He pursued a business career until he retired. In his latter years, Leonard Berney was regularly asked to deliver lectures on the Liberation of Belsen by groups such as Congregation Ner Tamid, Las Vegas and Greenwich University, London and he was often asked to take part in documentaries about the Holocaust such as "Night Will Fall" which was broadcast on television in over twenty countries around the world to mark the 70th Holocaust Memorial Day 2015, as well as "No Asylum" about Anne Frank and her family. For the last seven years of his life, Leonard lived on the residential ship MS The World. In his 95th year when he wrote this book, he was one of the very few surviving liberators of the infamous Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp.

1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Amazing story! By barbara mah A very interesting book, with even more interesting (and gruesome) photos. I found the account even somehow understated the awful circumstances of the Nazi death camp Belsen. I read it at a single sitting; it was amazing and heart-warming that the British army, already stretched so thin in its resources, could handle this situation with so much care and humanity. A look into a dark past.
