The prisoners arrived in Bergen-Belsen by train, in freight wagons, sometimes with 70 people in one wagon. The trip lasted 10, 15 days, if you were lucky you could get out in time to do your northern turn.
And when you finally arrived at the train station, you walked around 5 km to the camp. But there was only hunger, cruelty, need, and death.

Here it is also very strangely quiet and you have a very oppressive feeling

During the Nazi era, the loading ramp in Bergen-Belsen was the site where thousands of prisoners of war and concentration camp inmates arrived. It was located near Bergen train station and, from 1943 onward, was used to transport people to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. The prisoners were transported in freight cars under inhumane conditions, and from there, had to walk to the camp. The ramp was part of the Nazi regime's organized deportation system. Many people suffered from overcrowding, hunger, and disease even during the train journeys.
