The Relief Of Belsen

Starring: Jemma Redgrave | Tobias Menzies | Simon Day | Iain Glen | Corin Redgrave Director: Justin Hardy The extraordinary story is told through dramatisation, testimony and news footage;. I will recommend to all generation have seen this great film adaptation about true story of European history. I was born in Germany 1950, but my bought parents were in concentration camp, and bought survive. Director Justin Hardy made fabulous film used in many sequences of film original documentary film about Belsen. Any generation cannot forget what happened 1939 - 1945, but we have to learn from history and change possibly present and future even we never learn enough and still make many mistakes.

The relief of Belsen

A fantastic drama of the relief of belsen by the British at the end of april 1945. This is the story of the Royal Army Medical Corp units who attempted to save as many of the Belsen prisoners as they could,the main problem being a typhus epidemic sweeping the camp and the vast amounts of dead and dying left all around the camp.

Though this is a grim reminder of the dark legacy of what was found by the allies during the liberation of europe it is a fitting testimony to the hard work of the medical staff of all nations who fought so hard to save as many people as possible.

Actual photographs and some footage show some of the horror of Belsen camp and try to show a picture of the massive problem that the medical staff faced.

A fantastic drama that had me gripped to the end!
