may 1, 1948 - REPORT: The International Committee Of The Red Cross On Its Activities During The Second World War September 1, 1939 - June 30, 1947

Description:

The original 1946 edition did not even talk of 'extermination' or 'death camps' but after the
emotional impact of the Nuremberg trials the Red Cross felt compelled to introduce into the expanded 1948 Report several, very cursory references to 'death camps' (Vol. 1 p. 641) and 'extermination camps' (Vol. I p. 645).
