The Six Million, Fact or Fiction (TSMFOF), Chap 18,19, Sachsenhausen, Bergen-Belsen

Chap 18, Sachsenhausen: The Sachsenhausen concentration camp outside Berlin hardly features in the â€œexterminationâ€ legend in present-day Holocaust storytelling, but in the period immediately following the war, it was big news. Located in the Soviet occupation zone of Germany, it was at first taken over by the Soviet secret police, the NKVD, for the detention and interrogation of German prisoners.

Chap 19, Bergen-Belsen: The Bergen-Belsen camp in northwestern Germany was originally a prisoner of war camp named Stalag XI-C. It was â€œconvertedâ€ into a concentration camp in 1943 on the orders of SS ReichsfÃ¼hrer Heinrich Himmler as a part of a program to exchange Jews for German POWs held by the Allies (Ben Shephard, After Daybreakâ€”The Liberation of Belsen, 1945, London, Random House, 2006).
