Portion of Murrow's April 16, 1945 broadcast regarding the liberation of Buchenwald, a concentration camp in Weimar, Germany. The photographs are mainly from Buchenwald, although there are some contemporary and modern photographs of Auschwitz as well.
How difficult this must have been, seeing such torture and hatred towards human beings. So evil. And, for the doubting Thomas' who deny this tragic event are the very people Mr. Murrow detested and warned America about. He made a difference, and he used his influence and media to expose these monsters for what they were. A true hero goes after and seeks justice, no matter the price to pay.

I have played this many a time on the anniversary of Kystalnacht on my radio program----Murrow---the greatest newsman to come down the pike and has not, and I doubt will be surpassed. He made radio more descriptive than TV and had more soul and insight than any of today's sad imitations of commentators.
