The Remarkable Klara Belkin: From Bergen-Belsen to Saskatchewan (Part 2)

Loading player...
On the 80th anniversary of Bergen-Belsen's liberation, we continue the extraordinary tale of Klara Belkin's life.

At just 15 years old, Klara’s world was shaken and irrevocably changed by the horrors of the Holocaust.

She arrived at the Nazi concentration camp of Bergen-Belsen, where she would endure five months of unimaginable suffering. But unlike so many others, Klara survived.

In part two, the 95-year-old recounts the brutal reality of life in the camp — the overcrowding, the starvation and the constant proximity to death.

She also reflects on the quiet moments of humanity that offered brief glimpses of hope, even amidst the horror.

Klara's story within the camp is a testament to the power of survival and a reminder that even in the darkest times, the human spirit can endure.
