When the 3rd Armored Division of the US Army liberated Buchenwald, this Russian inmate points an identifying and accusing finger at a Nazi guard who was especially cruel towards the prisoners. The photo was taken on April 14, 1945. Estimates place Buchenwald’s death toll at over 56,000 people. It was built on Etter Mountain, near Weimar, in July of 1937. It was one of the original concentration camps built on German soil and also the largest.
