Title
Austauschlager Bergen-Belsen
Description
In July 1944, 222 Dutch Jews who had been transported from Westerbork to Bergen-Belsen were selected for an exchange transport to Palestine, and travelled by train to Haifa. In Vienna, 60 Jews from other countries joined them. The group consisted mainly of children and elderly people. Herrmann was an eyewitness of the journey and gives details also about life in Westerbork and Bergen-Belsen.
