Answer 1

Survivors who moved from camps close to front were sent to Bergen Belsen, Buchenwald, Mauthausen, Terezin (The Residents Traditional) and Ravens Bruckner, or one of their many sub-camps. The resulting overcrowding in these camps hastened the spread of disease and caused many more deaths.

In every camp, Allied soldiers encountered appalling scenes. Bergen Belsen was liberated by British forces on the 15 April 1945. It become exceptionally overcrowded after the arrival of survivors of the death marches. Thousands of unburied bodies lay strewn around the camp, while the barracks some 60,000 starving and mortally ill people werè packed togethér without food or water. The mortality rate amongst those suffering from typhus over 60 ℅.
