Rabbi Hardman conducted the service in his capacity as a chaplain with the British army forces which liberated the camp. At the end of the service, everyone sang "Hatikva". It was very moving. The web site also included a photo of Rabbi Hardman in his military uniform standing among the myriads of unburied bodies in the camp, saying Kaddish. Rabbi Hardman really saw with his own eyes the reality of the Jewish condition. This no doubt influenced his later Zionist activites. Y'hi Zichro Baruch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
