This chronicle on the Nazi concentration camp Buchenwald was written by the senior American officers of the Displaced Persons Division, U.S. Group Control Council for the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Forces of the U.S. Department of War. It explains when and why the “camp” was created, who it was intended to incarcerate and how many:
“The recent death rate was about 200 a day. 5700 had died or been killed in February; 5900 in March, and about 2000 in the first 10 days of April…Jews were given even worse treatment than the others.”
