Return to Belsen
To mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the German concentration camp, Jonathan Dimbleby visits the site from where his father Richard made a radio broadcast that shocked the world with its description of the scenes he witnessed.
Originally, the BBC wouldn't broadcast the piece, refusing to believe the scenes of horror could be true.
