75th anniversary of the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp on 19 April

Large commemorative event cancelled

In light of the spread of the coronavirus in Germany and the associated travel restrictions in many countries, most survivors will not be able to attend the ceremony for the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. The Lower Saxony Memorials Foundation has therefore had to cancel the multi-day programme of events for survivors and their relatives and the commemorative ceremony which was palanned for 19 April 2020.

The large commemorative event that was originally planned has been postponed for a year, until 18 April 2021.
