In early April 1945, a few days before liberation, three transports left Bergen-Belsen. Each train carried 2 and a half thousand Jewish prisoners heading to Terezín.
One of them took Jews from Hungary, Netherlands, Poland, Greece and Slovakia. After a few days the train suddenly stopped and the SS fled from the approaching American soldiers, they were from 743. tank flag 30. 9th Infantry Division the armies. All 2.5 thousand prisoners in transport were finally free.
When the surprised prisoners were escaping from the stationary train, one of the soldiers, who were already on the scene, pulled out a camera and recorded the scene.
Later, the woman in the photo was accidentally identified. She came from Hungary, she was 35 at the time and held the hand of her 5-year-old daughter while running.
The second picture shows this woman at 70. years of the last century with my granddaughter.
