Up until a group of Hungarians came from Auschwitz bringing typhus with them, the conditions in Bergen-Belsen were bearable. Some didn't have to work, and were not required to wear prison clothing.
In the beginning of 1945 before the British arrived, the conditions deteriorated and cleanliness was absent. Food was scarce, and overcrowding came from transports from other camps in the Germans' rush to hide their nasty secrets.
