Jonathan Dimbleby says his father's report on the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp still sends a shiver up his spine. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ was hesitant to broadcast Richard Dimbleby's report as it contained such strong imagery and needed to be corroborated. The war correspondent threatened to "never broadcast again" if the report was not played and his son believes that "probably played a part" in the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s decision to air the broadcast.

Originally a prisoner of war camp, it held thousands of Jews in 1943 as the Nazis tried to bring about the final solution. This clip is originally from 5 live Breakfast on Wednesday 15 April 2015.
