Entrance to Buchenwald concentration camp, Germany

Forgotten Crimes OF Buchenwald: Seventeen years after the Russian liberated East Germany, Buchenwald still stands as a grim reminder of the horror of the Nazi regime. The infamous concentration camp for political prisoners, near Leipzig, has been set up by the Communists as a museum. Today visitors can still see the torture chambers, the cells, the crematorium, the experimental operating theatre, unchanged except that the stench of human misery is exchanged for an air of sanitary cleanliness. But such is the short memory of the world that few people come to Buchenwald. Photographer saw only two visitors during a day spent there. The entrance at Buchenwald with its watch tower. The time on the clock stands at -30, the hour of liberation
