This new interview with Bernice Lerner celebrates the publication of her book "All the Horrors of War: A Jewish Girl, a British Doctor, and the Liberation of Bergen-Belsen." The girl of the title is Lerner's mother, Rachel Genuth, who narrowly survived the trials and atrocities of the Nazi concentration camps. The doctor is Brigadier H. L. Glyn Hughes, who was in charge of medicine for the British Second Army, which liberated Bergen-Belsen on April 15, 1945. Most movingly, Lerner also tells the story of her mother's reemergence into the world after the war.
