	Interview with Sir Brian Urquhart - p. 3 of 8
		We were quite far ahead and we got to the Belsen concentration camp, which was a very large one, more or less by mistake because we didn't get the radio message telling all the troops to stop.

		And then we said to the Jewish doctors, "Who is the commandant of this camp?" "Oh," they said, "He's still here, he's in the SS barracks which are outside the camp." So we went down there and there was this person who later became very famous as the "Beast of Belsen." He was called Krämer.

	Excerpts from The Belsen Trial (1/5)
		So far as one knows, Belsen was originally a small camp, a transit camp, but at the end of November of last year Josef Kramer, who had been in the concentration camp service throughout the period of Nazi ascendancy, having joined as a volunteer in 1932, was called to Berlin.
		In Berlin he saw the head of the concentration camp service and was told that Belsen was to become a convalescent camp for sick persons from concentration camps, factories, farms, displaced persons from the whole of northwest Europe.
		If you are satisfied on the evidence that these conditions did exist in Belsen and in Auschwitz, then the Prosecution have amply made out a case against each one of those prisoners who took an active part at either of those camps, however small it may be.

		While the number of internees in the camps still amounted to 27,000 in October of 1933, their numbers fell to 7,000 by February 1934 as a result of the rapidly relaxing political situation[20] and then remained quite stable, although in addition to political prisoners hardened criminals ("Berufsverbrecher") and "Asocials" (tramps, beggars etc.) were interned too.
		In Buchenwald or Dachau camps, the responsibility incumbent upon the camp officials [recruited from] the ranks of the politicals was allocated as skillfully as possible; many SS - attacks were nipped in the bud, sabotaged or robbed of their effectiveness by passive resistance.
