About the project

For many years now, the story of the children in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp has been a key aspect of the Memorial’s research and collecting activities. Based on this work, the Memorial is now able to present the situation, the experiences and coping strategies of these child prisoners in some detail. The exhibition will include selected biographies of child survivors from their imprisonment and life after liberation to the present day. Key to this presentation are the over 120 biographical video interviews with child survivors the Bergen-Belsen Memorial has been recording since 1999. Research in other collections and archives also yielded important new findings and brought to light moving pictorial and written documents which were included in the exhibition.

Despite or maybe because of the subject’s emotional impact, very little is known publicly about the fates of children in the concentration camps. This is the first exhibition to extensively cover the topic of children in a Nazi concentration camp to be shown in Germany.
