MEMORANDUM ON THE CAMP BELSENBERGEN-CELLE
A certain number of people in this.country whose. relatives
(Dutch Jews) were interned in Westerbork and who were in
possession of Palestine Certificates, have been informed
that these internees have been transferred to the camp
of Belsenbergen-Celle. It must be pointed out that as far
as we could ascertain, this t_ransfer has been baaed on the
possession of Palestine Certificates only, Yet, we had
learned previously that Jews who had Latin-American passports -had been sent to the above camp. It results from
additional messages we received that this camp comprises
only a few hundred internees.
According to a let~er which ·w.e r~~ceived froin tM' Nation13.l
Headquar_ters of the 'American Red. Cr.oss- in Wasnihgto)l,, on
MaY £7, 1944 the American Red Cross had been ··sent a cable
from the International Red Cross. It was dated Ma;y 23;
and stated· that 11 Intercross (International· Red Cross) ·
unab).e visit, forward relief Belsenbergen. 11
It should be mentioned in this connection that a message
from a certain Sidney Rickheimer who has been transferred
in March from Westerbork to Vittel,statee clearly that inmates of Westsrbork have ·a good chance to return to
Amsterdam if they are placed on the so-called 11 Haneman"
list.
We are still investigating the e-ignificance ·of this list.
