They travelled under terrible conditions for the next three to four weeks, eventually arriving in Buchenwald concentration camp. From there they were sent on cattle trucks to Bergen-Belsen, where they arrived in February 1945. Gena worked there in a hospital for the next two months and tried to support her mother as best as she could.]]> 2018-04-12 18:29:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lhollima0170/2nnixfpke1il/wish/251308481 lhollima0170 https://padlet.com/lhollima0170/2nnixfpke1il/wish/251308713 On 15th April 1945 the British army liberated Bergen–Belsen.
