NEUE Berliner Illustrierte - report on the events in the Nazi death camps - October 1, 1945
NEUE Berliner Illustrierte, dated October 1, 1945, The rare edition of the newspaper, which describes in a number of photographs and in short descriptions the crimes of the Nazis.
The Berliner Illustritte Zeitung (Berlin newspaper in photos), published between 1892 and 1945, was published once a week on Thursdays. It was in fact the most popular newspaper in Europe with a record number of 2 million copies in the early 30s.
In the years under the control of the Third Reich, the newspaper controlled the Nazi Propaganda Office headed by Joseph Goebbels and became one of the most virulent and anti-Semitic newspapers in Europe with regular reports condemning the Jews and the success of the German forces. At the end of the war, the newspaper ceased to exist and in fact split into several sub-newspapers under a similar name. The new edition of the newspaper, now called 'Neue Berliner Illustrierte', actually foreshadowed the end of the Third Reich and the end of the newspaper. The editors gave the post-war news editions a different character and tried to adapt their values to the values of post-war global democracy. The change was made gradually. One of the rare newspaper editions announcing the change was the edition in which the newspaper exposes Nazi crimes in the death camps. The two middle pages of the newspaper contain photographs from the Buchenwald, Belsen, Majdanek, and Theresienstadt camps in which the crematorium, 'Muslemans' prisoners, the bodies, and the belongings of the victims. Next to each photograph there is a short description of the Nazi program and the photographs that reveal what the editor defines as "the crimes of the Nazis."
On the upper left are photographs of two who were known for their cruelty and even had friendly relations: The Nazi war criminal Irma Garza, who served as a guard at the Auschwitz camp and Josef Kramer, who commanded the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. And who was called by the prisoners of the camp "the beast from Belsen," who was directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of people. The two were convicted in the "Belsen trial" a month and a half after the publication before us, on 17 November 1945 and were hanged in Hamlin Prison by Albert Fairpoint on December 13, 1945.
