Sta,—The practice of the Germans not to have been aware

of the horrors of the concentration camps can be easily discounted. Every single German was frightened to death to be put into such a camp. The Germans did not conceal the horrors to visitors, and even a White Paper gave an account of the facts. An officer of the last war whom I know almost fainted, having been shown round one of the camps in 1936. There are, however, still people who think the Germans as a whole are not responsible for these atrocities which have been committed by German Fascists only. Why are there no such horror camps in other Fascist countries like Argentina, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Portugal, Spain? The only logical answer can be that no other nation, whatever the system of government might be, would tolerate such bestialities.—I am, Yours faithfully, J. S. BAKER. 12 Hale Court, Edgware.
