Buchenwald Camp. The Report of a Parliamentary Delegation.
pp. 8. Original printed wrappers, some wear and minor tears at edges. 8vo.
His Majesty's Stationery Office, London: 1945.
German concentration camp located outside Weimar, Buchenwald was liberated by American forces on April 11th 1945. Nine days later, a delegation of British Parliamentarians were sent by Winston Churchill to "have ocular and first-hand proof of (the) atrocities." This, the delegates' report, closes: "We have endevoured to write with restraint and objectivity…(however) the memory of what we saw and heard at Buchenwald will haunt us ineffaceably for many years."
