In April 1945, following the liberation of the Ohrdruf concentration camp in Germany by U.S. forces, General Dwight D. Eisenhower visited the site himself. Deeply affected by what he saw, he ordered thorough photographic documentation, warning that future generations might attempt to deny the Holocaust.
The resulting images and eyewitness accounts became vital evidence during the Nuremberg Trials later that year. Displayed in courtrooms and circulated globally, they revealed the conditions of camps like Buchenwald and Dachau, making it impossible to ignore or erase what had occurred.
Eisenhower’s commitment to preserving visual records helped shape the foundation for Holocaust museums, archives, and educational initiatives that continue to uphold historical truth and counter denial.
