Medical Block, Buchenwald: The Personal Testimony of Inmate 996, Block 36
Buchenwald was the notorious concentration camp near Weimer. It was the death camp which, at the invitation of Dwight Eisenhower and the request of Winston Churchill, a British parliamentary commission visited soon after American soldiers liberated the area. The commission's report left the world aghast. Yet it reported only a brief chapter in the story of Buchenwald. Walter Poller was a Buchenwald inmate, ordered under penalty of death to assist the German monsters-doctors. He witnessed appalling atrocities. 56,000 human beings were murdered in Buchenwald, systematic genocide exercised with brutality that included medical torture. Miraculously, Walter Poller survived. This damning indictment is an answer to President Reagan's lie that the S.S. men were, like the Jews, victims. Medical Block Buchenwald is an indictment that must never be forgotten.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
