Liberated 1945

I was there.

When the Allied forces approached Hamburg the slave labour camp was shut down and Livia and other prisoners were transported to the concentration camp Bergen-Belsen.

April 15, 1945 the camp was eventually liberated. Livia and Hédi were slowly recovering. Later on they were brought to Sweden in a Red Cross project called the Bernadotte transport.
