    At least 52,000 prisoners died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp before it was liberated by British troops in 1945 - including the now world-famous Jewish girl Anne Frank. The documentation center shows photos and other evidence of the horror in an impressive and moving permanent exhibition - in modern and yet appropriately restrained architecture. In the adjacent outdoor area there are mass graves, memorials and a gravestone in memory of Anne Frank and her sister Margot.

    Dear cyclists, please take your time for the visit. Let us, who did not have to experience the horror, pause to remember the victims.

    This place is not a highlight.
    The Bergen-Belsen concentration camp was a Nazi concentration camp in the Belsen district of the Bergen municipality in the Celle district. Tens of thousands of people were killed there.
    The camp was built from barracks that served as accommodation for workers who had built the military training area in Bergen until 1939. After the war began, the barracks were converted by the Wehrmacht into a camp for Belgian and French, and then also for Soviet, prisoners of war until January 1945.
