THE ONE HUNDRED-YEAR SECRET
A gripping report of a tragedy that should never be forgotten."
--William Riley, author, Nature's Strongholds
In Germany on May 3, 1945, the Royal Air Force bombed a fleet of ships carrying ten thousand survivors of the Neuengamme concentration camp. The war was nearly over. The survivors had endured one of history's most hellish ordeals only to die at the hand of their allies. Benjamin Jacobs, then 25, survived only by clinging to wreckage. Tragically, British intelligence may have known who was on the ships, which may explain why the RAF has sealed records of the event until 2045.
