To: “Anonymous†above: This photo shows dirt and leaves only if every tree in the area had hollow branches. These are bones and bone fragments. The hollow of the marrows and the heads of the long bones can all be clearly seen here. There is also a large amount of particulate debris in the pile that cannot be identified through analyzing the photo; but there is far more to suggest these bits are of human origin than leaves and dirt, your anonymous & unsupported denials notwithstanding.

many people died in those camps due to the following factors: typhus, starvation due to the allied bombing of german cities whose supplies could not be delivered. Do note that if those inmates escaped those camps, they had to face the advancing red army killing people left to right.
