80th Anniversary of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen

The 15th April 2025 will mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen. A site of terrible tragedy and suffering, Bergen-Belsen has long held a prominent place in Britain’s historical culture. However, the history of Bergen-Belsen is complex and often poorly understood.

We are delighted to launch Belsen 80: a suite of classroom resources and accompanying materials, focused on the history of the camp, its liberation and its legacies.
