Hélène Berr
Faced with the advance of the Soviet Red Army, Hélène left with a convoy of other inmates on a evacuation from Auschwitz, on 31 October 1944, and arrived in their destination in Bergen-Belsen three days later on 3 November. After their arrival, there was a raging typhus epidemic in the camp. Hélène contracted typhus and became ill. Around April 1945, there was a roll-call in the camp, and Hélène was too weak to attend it, so she got beaten to near death by a German officer. She later died as a result of her wounds, in possible addition to typhus. The camp was liberated on 15 April. Mariette Job, Hélène's niece and the publisher and editor of her diary, suggests a death date of 10 April 1945 (five days before the camp was liberated), but does not specify why he suggests this.
