The second article by Chris Mitchell, entitled "The Valley of Death, the Armies of Life," appeared in "Moment" (issue date not specified). It describes the role of the British military in the liberation of Bergen-Belsen, the treatment of the SS guards captured at the camp during liberation, and the mass burials of victims of the camp.
