Buchenwald Camp: The Report of the Parliamentary Delegation
London: His Majesty's Stationary Office, 1945.
First edition. 7, [1] pp. Bound in publisher's side-stapled self-wrappers. Very Good with slight oxidation to staples, light toning and foxing to covers. Horizontal fold and light creasing with some spots of soiling. A scarce pamphlet on the first views of the British parliamentary delegation into the Buchenwald concentration camp in Weimar, Germany at the end of World War II. Atrocities of the Nazi officers are laid out from intentional starvation, overcrowding, scientific experiments and the cruel treatment of women and children. Elie Wiesel, author of Night, was a prisoner of Buchenwald, one of the largest and first concentration camps established by the Nazis. It ends with the statement, "It is our considered and unanimous opinion, on the evidence available to us, that a policy of steady starvation and inhuman brutality was carried out at Buchenwald for a long period of time; and that such camps as this mark the lowest point of degradation to which humanity has yet descended. The memory of what we saw and heard at Buchenwald will haunt us ineffaceably for many years."
