A new inquiry has revealed that over 1,000 slave laborers died in Nazi concentration camps on the British island of Alderney in the Channel Islands during World War II. This figure significantly surpasses previous estimates, which claimed that 389 of the 4,000 enslaved mixed prisoners had been killed. The review, conducted for the U.K. government, highlights the extent of Nazi atrocities and the subsequent failure to hold anyone accountable. The report also addresses the long-standing debate among historians and residents regarding the death toll and refutes the notion that Alderney was a 'mini-Auschwitz,' despite acknowledging the horrors committed there. The lack of war crimes trials post-occupation has been criticized as a stain on the reputation of U.K. governments. The inquiry, which also uncovered a succession of cover-ups, aims to provide a full and honest account of the events to ensure dignity and justice for the victims and to prevent such atrocities from being forgotten.
