Archive includes photos of Russian prisonersstarved to death by the Nazis, Germans being made to bury the dead by American or British soldiers and Jewish women from Hungary. Particularly chilling is the photo titled 'Buchenwald Horror Camp' where the accompanying text reads 'Most remarkable were the incidents of human skin. Here is a close up of tattooed and tanned skin. The wife of a Nazi director had a peculiar hobby: when a prisoner was brought in who was tatooed, he was brought in and undressed for her inspection. If she liked his tattooing, he was killed and the piece of skin tanned. She would make purses of it. Once she made a lamp with a large tattooed lampshade. The base of the lamp is made of human bones. Most of the prisons contained political or Jewish prisoners'

Published under the auspices of the Central Committee of the Liberated Jews in the British Zone. The text is in English, Yiddish, Hebrew and German. Each language has its own title page. Printed on card. Contains 115 photographs of the destruction of the Jews by the Nazis. Each page contains 3 or 4 pictures. The introduction of the book poignantly describes its purpose: "The incentive to produce this collection gave us our deepest desire to show the world the crimes of Germany, to give expression to the throttled cry of pain of the Jews. The desire to bring back our memories of Jewish Settlements which were drowned in torrents of Jewish Blood. May the world have this knowledge and ponder on it. When words are too weak and too poor to convey the destruction and extermination of Jewish life, may these pictures found by accident on arrested SS Soldiers, speak for themselves of the bestiality which will forever bring shame on human kind"
