Quote from Eisenhower

The visual evidence . . . of starvation, cruelty and bestiality were so overpowering as to leave me a bit sick. In one room, where there were piled up twenty or thirty naked men, killed by starvation, [General] George Patton would not even enter. He said he would get sick if he did so. I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in a position to give firsthand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to "propaganda."

-General Dwight Eisenhower (1890-1969), Supreme Commander of the Allied armies in a letter to Chief of Staff George Marshall after visiting the Nazi concentration camp at Ohrdruf, Germany

(Harry James Cargas, Shadows of Auschwitz, page 157)
