In Memory of Anne Frank - Bergen Belsen

In Memory of Anne Frank - Bergen Belsen

Liberated in 1945, Bergen-Belsen Camp provides a moving look at the human stories and enduring lessons of the Holocaust.

You'll travel to Lower Saxony to visit the memorial there, where the Nazis took more than 50,000 lives — including Anne Frank’s — during WWII. Walk the quiet grounds with your guide, visiting the Obelisk, Room of Silence, and Anne Frank’s symbolic grave. In the Information Center, you'll see an exhibit that features haunting photos, personal belongings, and first-hand accounts from Holocaust survivors. This powerful visit is a solemn reminder of loss and of the resilience that followed.
