‘The Holocaust happened on British soil’: Inquiry into Nazi camps creates bitter divide on Alderney.
An official investigation of claims that many more people than previously thought died during Nazi control of the Channel Island has pleased some, but dismayed others.

The UK's Channel Island Nazis inquiry is under pressure to find out why the perpetrators never faced justice.
Thousands of people may have perished on Alderney during the second world war. Hundreds are known to have been killed when the Nazis occupied Alderney and set up slave labour camps, including at least one that was taken over by the SS to be used as a concentration camp. But their murderers never stood trial

Have you ever heard of the existence of two #Nazi #concentration camps on the territory of a British Crown dependency (Channel Islands) during WWII? Codastory's Isobel Cockerell went to #Alderney to understand how it grapples with the horrors of its past:

Plenty of history of the line and the people who run it at their website. It was even the basis for a Thomas the Tank Engine storyline!
