Context is determined by evidence, and the belief that somehow Allied bombs caused the Jews to starve, is not supported by the evidence. Bombing did reduce supplies, but camps such as Bergen-Belsen were still getting deliveries. The camp staff were responsible for not ensuring everyone got enough to eat to stop them from dying.

What is evidenced to have happened, which can be seen by the camp staff and prisoners such as Allied POWs, is that only the Jewish prisoners starved to death and whose coprses were bulldozed into mass graves by the liberating Allies. When supplies ran short, the SS camp staff stopped feeding the Jewish prisoners, so much so, that on being given rations on liberation, many died from re-feeding syndrome. Food became toxic to their starved bodies, which evidences how badly they were treated.For example, the bombing, bombing and the bombing. the film does not explain how Germany had been flattened by years of bombing by Allied forces. It does not explain the vast destruction and collapse of infrastructure where often there was no running water, no electricity... and no food! Given this context, how would viewers tend answer this multiple choice question:
Based on the appearance of the dead bodies in this film, the primary cause of death was:
a) machine gun fire
b) pushed off of cliffs
c) poison gassing of relative healthy camp arrivals
d) dog attack
e) starvation
Actually context is hardly necessary when most of the bodies are only skin and bones. The multiple choice question itself reveals a huge crack in the narrative. The context gives the aha, a better explanation. It was not a “plan”. The dissidents’ explanation about the condition of the camps is far more plausible. It also explains why the Allies were keen to cover up and shift the blame for what amounts to a huge case of… friendly famine.
