Discovery of the Camps


Near the very end of the war, Germany's military was forced to use all its available resources to defend itself. As the war came closer to an end, German forces retreated inward and left the Concentration Camps abandoned, except for the prisoners. The prisoners were left to die in the camps, no food or fresh water was left behind for most of them, and they were too weak to escape them anyways. When the Allied Forces discovered the camps, which had been abandoned for days or sometimes weeks, what they saw was unfathomable.
