In a special edition to mark the 30th anniversary of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen, Michael Freedland speaks to survivor Gena Turgel as well as to her husband Norman Turgel, who was among the British soldiers who liberated the concentration camp. He also hears from Norman’s fellow liberator, Andrew Pears, and to the Reverend Leslie Hardman, who was the first Jewish chaplain of the British army to enter Belsen.
