Bergen-Belsen was not a death camp, but a special detention camp for Jews who for various reasons the Nazis thought they could be released in exchange for P.O.W. or other purposes. At the end of the war the detention camp was evacuated, and Bergen-Belsen became the final destination for many inmates from other concentration camps.
The detention camp
In the detention camp, life was very hard but not as hard as in other camps, at least initially. Around 2,500 children lived there (around 500 of them perished). A first group of inmates from Hungary (including 273 children) were released in 1944 on the Kastner Train. All the other inmates (including 2000 children) were evacuated at the end of the war and sent to Therensienstadt on board of three trains: only the second reached the destination, the Magdeburg Train and the Troebitz Train were liberated during their journey. On board of each train were around 600-700 children. Most of them survived.
