Operating theatre for medical experiments, Buchenwald

Apr 01, 1962; Buchenwald, GERMANY; Seventeen years after the Russians 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.
