Oblong folio, conservation casebound using fully acid free materials. The decorative color wrapper at the front has been inset to prevent further damage it shows some fraying. 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 and each language has its own title page. Printed on card. [38 leaves] Contains 115 photographs showing the Nazi attacks on the Jews. 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 humankind"
