Ficheiro:Eines von 3 Massengräbern in Bergen-Belsen, so wie es von den Befreiern vorgefunden wurde, 1945.jpg

English: A broken and twisted mound of emaciated corpses lay strewn in one of three open burial pits. At the liberation of Belsen on 15 April 1945, British troops were faced with over 10 000 dead inmates who required immediate burial to halt the spread of typhus and other diseases which were rampant in the camp. Former SS (Schutzstaffel) guards were formed into work squads to bury the bodies and face responsibility for the victimization of their prisoners. Belsen, one of many Nazi concentration camps of the German Third Reich, was used as an instrument of genocide against Jews and those of other nationalities and categories. Photographer, VX93880 Lieutenant (Lt) Alan Moore, Australian official war artist, was present with the Allies in the liberation of Belsen. Whilst at Belsen, Lt Moore made several paintings, sketches and drawings as a record of Nazi atrocities committed against the predominantly Jewish inmates. A personal camera was used to record events observed in the Allied occupation of the camp and these black and white images also provide witness to one Australian's experience of the Holocaust.
