Dimbleby: My father's Belsen report sends 'shivers up my spine'
Jonathan Dimbleby says his father's report on the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp still sends a shiver up his spine.
The 成人快手 was hesitant to broadcast Richard Dimbleby's report as it contained such strong imagery and needed to be corroborated.
The war correspondent threatened to "never broadcast again" if the report was not played and his son believes that "probably played a part" in the 成人快手's decision to air the broadcast.
Seventy years ago today, British troops liberated the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in northern Germany - where more than fifty thousand people died during the Holocaust.
Originally a prisoner of war camp, it held thousands of Jews in 1943 as the Nazis tried to bring about the final solution.
