This photograph, captioned 'Buchenwald, Germany' in the photographer's own hand, documents the horrific conditions discovered by Allied forces upon the liberation of Buchenwald concentration camp in April 1945. Bodies of victims who perished under Nazi brutality are seen stacked against a camp building. Images such as this, taken by liberating soldiers, served as irrefutable firsthand evidence of the Holocaust and remain solemn reminders of the human cost of Nazi genocide. They are preserved and shared today in the interest of historical truth and remembrance. Project: 218414
