Lot description
8vo: 14 pp., in French (some foxing).
Booklet. Good condition.
Rare and early publication published just only about a month after the liberation of Buchenwald concentration camp on 11 April 1945 by the troops from the US 6th Armored Division. This booklet contains horrific photos from the day of liberation, depicting some of the 21,000 half-dead inmates found by American soldiers. The booklet features horrific pictures of "Müde Scheichs" in a state somewhere between life and death, crematoria, mass graves, torture equipment, American forces providing first aid and feeding the prisoners, Generals Eisenhower and Patton visiting the camp, etc.
