Description & Specifications

Herbert Kenny, a military postal worker, was the first ally to open the gates of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in April 1945. He kept his story hidden from the world until a chance correspondence with an apprentice journalist brought it to light. Now, forty years later, the journalist is ready to share Herbert's incredible narrative with the world. With unprecedented access to Herbert's diaries, letters, and interviews, Mark Honkinson brings to life the tragic conditions of Bergen-Belsen and its eventual liberation. From the events leading to the horrific discovery, to the trauma Herbert faced and his abandonment afterwards, this is a testimony to one man's resilience in the face of unimaginable darkness. This is the story of an ordinary man placed in an extraordinary, defining situation. How can one cope when confronted with the darkest moment in history? Herbert Kenny was that man. This is his story.
