KZ - Bildbericht aus fünf Konzentrationslagern [“Photo Report from Five Concentration Camps.”]
FIRST EDITION . German text. 44 black-and-white photographs. pp. (32). Light stains. Original printed wrappers, central fold. Lg. 4to.
American War Information Unit, n.p.: (1945).
"This book… may represent the single most significant use of photography as a witness in the medium's history" (Martin Parr, The Photobook: A History, Vol. I, p. 194).
This important volume was distributed in Germany by the American War Information Unit at the conclusion of World War II in order to impress upon the civilian population the severity of the war crimes committed by the Nazis in the name of the German people. The concentration camps represented within are: Buchenwald, Belsen, Gardelegen, Nordhausen and Ohrdruf. The final images are of General Dwight Eisenhower witnessing the horrifying sights found in Ohrdruf.
