Staffordshire University archaeologists helping discover true death toll linked to Channel Island Nazi occupation

Description

Experts from Staffordshire University’s Centre of Archaeology are playing a leading role in a government enquiry to determine how many people died on the Channel Island of Alderney during Nazi occupation.

It follows the announcement of a review of the evidence into the numbers of prisoners who died on the island which has been subject of considerable speculation.

The Alderney camps were significant in the history of the Holocaust because they were sited on British soil.
