Holocaust - Night Will Fall Channel 4 Now

Dear God what horror. Footage recorded at Bergen Belsen by British army film crews, during the liberation and dealing with the aftermath. Interviews with soldiers who were there, those who survived.

Richard Dimbleby's powerful report......

http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/holocaust/5115.shtml harrowing to hear.

I have never seen this footage before, taken from the 'German Concentration Camps' documentary. To see human beings, skeletons with flesh on them being dragged and dumped with no ceremony, like bags of refuse.

I can not imagine, what this must have been like, the images say much, but no smell, no sound. How did those who saw this not go mad, seeing such horrors and those who did this......... I just can not imagine such inhumanity, how did they do this.



27 of January is Holocaust Memorial Day, pause and recall.

Seen a lot of stuff about the holocaust and the pictures are disturbing enough without the thought of adding all the other variables. I remember an officer rounding up all the Germans living in the vicinity of one of the camps and forcing them round the camp. It had the desired effect.

Yes it showed that, SS officers and regulars moving the dead, frankly they deserved more honour and reverence in the doing of that, it wasn't given them. I know why, but I can't divorce my emotions from the need to protect the survivors from disease, by treating the dead like piles of rubbish.

Frankly Grant, I don't think the SS cared a jot.

It was yesterday and I was going to put the monarchy in the rack and as I moved the table with the tv etc on to get to the back easier the back leg of 3 collapsed( must have not screwed it in enough I guess) . Damned thing went back and everything slid. I managed to save everything; dismantle and rebuild but have done myself some harm. along with the stairlift packing up I am bloody buggered and can hardly move. It s these things that bring home how difficult life can be, especially as I was always able to do anything.
Still, I saved my kit; I'd have been really pissed if I'd broken sommat.

Sorry to hear that. Hope it all mends quickly.

I'm always injuring myself too. Gashes, bruises & falls (I'm a bit like a 'bull in a china shop'). I try not to let them slow me down.
