[Holocaust] Bergen Belsen Group of 28 Photographs.

The concentration camp at Bergen Belsen was liberated by the British Army on April 15th, 1945. These historically important photographs were taken shortly after the liberation of Bergen Belsen.

There are 2 groups of photographs, 18 photos slightly varying sizes 12 x 8.5 cm (largest) and 8.5 x 9 cm (smallest) all stamped Foto N. Ezish, Dbg. Weden on Agfa Brovira paper, probably taken by an allied soldier. They show inmates, bodies, bodies being cleared and Nazi prisoners under guard.

10 other slightly bigger photographs 15 x 10 cm - they look like semi official photographs date stamped 4th or 18th May 1945 and most of them have “C 27” written on the reverse. Also showing Nazi prisoners, atrocity pictures and one photograph of Allied soldiers including Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery. These were probably taken by The Army Film and Photographic Unit (AFPU) that took photos of Belsen on the 17th and 18th of May 1945. Montgomery gave the order that these photographs be given the widest possible publicity.

All in good condition.
