Opening the Gates of Hell

The Untold Story of Herbert Kenny, the Man Who Discovered Belsen

Mark Hodkinson
The first Allied soldier to open the gates at Belsen, Herbert Kenny kept the experience to himself until 1985, when he wrote it down and handed it in to the local newspaper office. In this biography Mark Hodkinson, who interviewed Kenny at the time, outlines his youth and early career, his role as a dispatch rider, and, with excerpts from Kenny’s own notes, his role in history.
