A landmark report has attempted to uncover the truth of what happened in Alderney during the Nazi occupation. 

Crucially, it has put a number to the true total of people who died as a result of the atrocities in the camps in the island after decades of downplaying and exaggeration of the final figures. 

There’s also evidence of why the British never prosecuted the perpetrators, which involves cover-up and Cold War concerns. 

In this FOCUS podcast you’ll hear from the academics who compiled the report, the history, and the political reaction including how the island plans to move forward to memorialise the horrors from history.
