SIR,—I fully endorse Miss Gaevernitz's plan put forward in her
letter in your issue of April 20th with regard to the Nazi concentration camp at Buchenwald. It has since appeared that this is but one of many, but certainly one of these camps should be preserved with its instruments of torture so that future generations of Germans may see for themselves the extent of the Nazi crime against the entire human race. Such a camp would have the added advantage of showing Englishmen, with their traditional, and at times commendable, capacity for ".forgiving and forgetting," the potential menace to the world if Germany is ever again allowed to prepare for war.
I cannot, however, believe that any of the " martyr victims " would be willing, or should be expected, to conduct organised parties of Germans round the scene of their terrible suffering and humiliations as Miss Gaevernitz suggests, for surely all survivors will fervently desire never to set eyes on the detested "master race " again?—Yours, &c.,
3 Argyll Mansions, W. 14. EDMUND LAIRD-CLOWES.
