April 11, 1945: Elements of the U.S. Third Army liberate the Nazi concentration camp at Buchenwald. In a CBS radio broadcast on April 15, Edward R. Murrow describes "bodies stacked up like cordwood. They were thin and very white. Some of the bodies were terribly bruised; though there seemed to be little flesh to bruise. Some had been shot through the head, but they bled but little." Murrow ends his account with "if I have offended you by this rather mild account of Buchenwald, I'm not in the least sorry..." Margaret Bourke-White's graphic photos of Buchenwald are published in the May 7, 1945 issue of LIFE magazine, with the caption "Dead men will have indeed died in vain if live men refuse to look at them."
