youth workcamps
Young people from all over the world participate in youth workcamps
in Bergen-Belsen. They do not only look for traces of the camp
and uncover them but also talk to survivors, investigate and
document, work in an international group and create the publicly
accessable landscape of remembrance in the grounds of the former
P.O.W. and concentration camp.
