The Holocaust was the systematic murder of Europe’s Jews by the Nazis and their collaborators during the Second World War.

However it has the important strength of highlighting differences and reinforcing commonalities between the different regions’ liberations, as well as helping to overcome the danger of a single case study and the question of its representativeness. Thus, the Liberated Method is a prevention method (as well as an intervention as it was initially for Brian). Already suffering from starvation and ill-treatment, and poorly clothed against elements, many thousands died on these enforced death marches. The ‘Liberated Method’ has been developed over a series of prototypes over the last five years and initially focused upon freeing up the creativity and compassion of front-line caseworkers (the name ‘Liberated Method’ comes from them).No matter what corner of France they came from, the French expected that Liberation would mean an opportunity to re-establish their national identity, affirm their national sovereignty and reconstruct a viable nation-state, beginning with their own locales. Though liberation of Nazi camps was not a primary objective of the Allied military campaign, US, British, Canadian, and Soviet troops freed prisoners from their SS guards, provided aid to survivors, and collected evidence.

The use of narratives from our citizens and the digging of data (via 14 data sharing agreements no less! It’s where people become progressively less connected to a caseworker and more connected to their emerging community and network.

By acknowledging this, public services stand a far better chance of being effective and of liberating people’s own power for internal change. As the British Army advanced into the heart of Nazi Germany in the spring of 1945, its soldiers were confronted with the full horrors of the Holocaust when they reached the notorious Bergen-Belsen concentration camp near Hanover. Their neighbour was abusive and threatening towards them and as such, Juliet’s mother couldn’t bear to come over in the evenings.

Instead, the French retreated into bitter disillusionment, and the Americans into baffled frustration and impatience with French ingratitude. The Germans, and the Hungarians they were employing, would remain only to guard the camp until the British arrived.Those parts of France that were not essential to military progress were ignored by the Americans, resulting in a Liberation experience in which the Americans played only a fleeting role.
