Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: The big crisis comes when prisoners first arrive at this idyllic retreat. Those who stay (and that's most of them) become involved in reforestation projects and tailoring of provincial parks. The work is hard but other amenities provide enough diversion to make experience good.

      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.
