Corpses in Dachau

A pile of corpses in the newly liberated Dachau concentration camp. Dachau, Germany, April 29-May 1945.

This image is among the commonly reproduced and distributed, and often extremely graphic, images of liberation. These photographs provided powerful documentation of the crimes of the Nazi era.
