Harsh photographs of the Dachau death camp
Six difficult-to-view photographs from the Dachau concentration camp in Germany, taken by the Allies after its liberation.
Photographs: Inmates bringing a body to the crematorium, inmates dragging a body, the crematorium, the bodies of those who perished as found by Allied forces on the day of the camp's liberation.
On April 29, 1945, the Dachau concentration camp was officially liberated by the U.S. military, which accepted the surrender of camp commander Heinrich Wicker and released the prisoners. Dachau was one of the first concentration camps whose atrocities were exposed to the world in the media, in first-hand journalistic reports and through The news diaries.
Same size: 12x9 cm. The photographs are depicted on their backs in handwriting. Very good condition.
