Quote of the day
Everything collapses here, thousands of torture victims died here, and their living complaints still show their ashes spread in manure on the ground soaked with their blood. Here is Struthof, the martyrs' camp. I renounce saying all that I learned there and all that I saw there. The height of the horribleness was exceeded.
Charles Favret, Paris-Presse war correspondent visited the Struthof at the end of 1944. Article published the 27th of December 1944.
