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.” 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.”
pp. 8. Original printed wrappers, some wear and minor tears at edges. 8vo.
