Approximately 21,000 inmates - Russian, Polish, French, Italian, and Czechoslovakian - were freed. They were described as "the living dead". The camp doctors agreed that a t least 6,000 inmates had died as the result of German brutality during March, 1945. In the Winter of 1939, the prisoners died at the rate of 900 daily. In 10 years, more than 70,000 persons were starved and butchered in this atrocity center."
