Arthur Mainzer, a young cameraman with the Army in 1945 captured one of the most chilling moments of the liberation: American authorities forcing German townsfolk who lived near the camps to see the atrocities. With a 16mm Kodachrome movie camera, Mainzer recorded the reaction of residents of the town of Weimar who lived near the Buchenwald concentration camp.
