Can’t Destroy His Spirit
Georges Blind, pictured here, smiled in the face of the firing squad. Executed for his participation in the French Resistance, he remained true to the end, embodying their ideals up until the end.
Burning The Belsen Concentration Camp
The British soldiers that liberated the camp at Bergen-Belsen found the commanding officer and approximately fifty guards who had not fled. They informed the British that a typhus outbreak was ravaging the camp, causing daily fatalities even post-liberation. The British soldiers, at gunpoint, forced the Germans to bury the bodies in a mass grave, denying them protective clothing. The bodies buried and the survivors deloused, they burned the camp.
