Pictures

When U.S. and British soldiers entered the Nazi concentration camps at liberation, they brought camera crews with them. These crews were the first to document the horrors of the camps. In this photo, taken April 17, 1945, U.S. soldiers walk across the grounds of the Nordhausen concentration camp, past row upon row of corpses. Nordhausen was a subcamp of the concentration camp Dora-Mittelbau.
