American soldiers walk past rows of victims' remains at the Buchenwald concentration camp complex, photographed in April 1945 in the days following its liberation. Scenes such as this, documented extensively by U.S. military personnel, provided undeniable proof of the mass death and suffering inflicted under the Nazi regime. General Eisenhower ordered such conditions to be thoroughly photographed and witnessed, insisting that the world see clear evidence of the atrocities so they could never be denied. This photograph stands as a solemn record of that history. Project: 218414
