More than 70,000 prisoners, mostly Jews, died at Bergen-Belsen from 1941 to 1945. The camp was liberated on April 15, 1945; some 14,000 former inmates reportedly died after the liberation.

Renee Salt told Sky News’ Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips that the Nazis had stopped counting people by the time she arrived in Bergen-Belsen as a teenager because people were dying so rapidly.
