What happened to the survivors of Belsen concentration camp?

Three weeks before the end of WWII, the Germans invited the British to liberate the 60,000 prisoners - mostly Jews - being held at Belsen. But for the starving men, women and children of the camp, many seriously ill with typhus, liberation was not what they imagined or hoped for. The British initially refused to recognise them as Jews, and didn't know what to do with the thousands of displaced people who didn't want to go home. Guest: Nadia Wheatley, historian and author of Strange New World - Belsen's first year of freedom Producer: Catherine Zengerer
