Question
Read this excerpt from a letter to the US Army Chief of Staff during WWII:
But the most interesting-although horrible-sight that I encoùntered during the trip was a visit to a German internment camp near Gotha. The things I saw [are beyond] description. While I was touring the camp I encountered three men who had been inmates. . . . I interviewed them through an interpreter. The visual evidence and the verbal testimony of starvation, cruelty . . . were so overpowering as to leave me a bit sick. . … I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in a position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to propaganda.
