    Jack Dancygier gives his attention to customer Lou Sugar in his barber shop at Adelaide and Peter Sts. His manicurist is Gilda Facoetti.

    Thousands of prisoners who died at the Bergen Belsen concentration camp during World War II weren't deliberately starved to death but died from a rash of diseases, according to a psychiatrist who was there in 1945. Russell William Barton, 61, of Rochester, N.Y., said that when he entered the camp on May 2, 1945, he had heard and believed that prisoners were deliberately starved to death by the Nazis.
