A survivor's moving account of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen, April 15, 1945

Young musician Zuzana Ruzickova was just eighteen years old when, after almost six years of imprisonment and slave labour under Nazi rule, she and her mother were liberated from Bergen-Belsen by the British. The date was April 15, 1945, seventy-five years ago today, and they very nearly didn't make it. In her memoir One Hundred Miracles, published in paperback by Bloomsbury on May 14 and available for pre-order now, she described that day with vivid clarity. Author Wendy Holden, who wrote the book, describes it here.
