summary

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." 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."
