Description
Fifty years ago, film crews for the Allied Expeditionary Force entered Nazi concentration camps to find atrocities beyond their imagination. Kept in a vault at London's Imperial War Museum since 1945, the film shows tragic images of the genocide including scenes of gas chambers, experimentation labs and the haunted, starving survivors. Some footage was filmed moments before the camps where liberated, as Nazi soldiers hurried to cover evidence.

COAST GUARD SPEEDS TO RESCUE VICTIMS OF NEW FLOOD PERIL
(143)
GREENWOOD, Miss. -- Thousands of families trapped by rushing waters overflowing the dikes of the Tallahatchie and Yazoo Rivers are brought relief by a fleet of powerful motorboats from Wisconsin and Chicago stations of the Service. The leaking levees strand cattle and home-owners in the inundated regions of the Tippo Basin. Convict labor, imported from penal institutions, work feverishly to re-establish sand bag dams between the rising floods and the endangered victims.

RAILWAY CREWS DEFY BIG SNOWS IN FURIOUS RIGHT-OF-WAY BATTLE
(92)
CUMBRES, Col. -- Through the deep gorges of the Rocky Mountain passes, the huge plows hum, cut their way into the heavy snow. A 23-foot fall leaves drifts of more than 40 feet in many places, and the heavy duty machines bore into the blocked passages, tossing the piled-up snow as far as 300 feet from the tracks, finally bringing daylight to the completely engulfed village. Transcontinental traffic is eventually resumed after the intrepid engineers clear the way over the mountainous ranges.
SUDS FLOW AGAIN AS U.S. RENEWS WAR ON GANGSTER BEER KINGS
(69)
CHICAGO, Ill. -- Led by Deputy Prohibition Administrator Elliott Ness, the raiders demolish a brewery said to belong to the chain operated by Al Capone. Vats, brewing the unmentionable liquid are found, and workers, wheeling scores of barrels of beer to the street, dump the amber fluid into the gutters. Illicit beverages valued, according to those in charge, in excess of $80,000, are totally destroyed.
MODERN CITY RAZED TO UNCOVER RUINS OF ANCIENT METROPOLIS
(93)
HERCULANEUM, Italy -- The town of Resina is destroyed so that the old capital may be restored. Buried under the fury of Mt. Vesuvius in the 79 A.D. eruption which obliterated Pompeii, this city of antiquity gave way to the modern centre, erected on the lava discharged by the volcano. Laborers have been working since 1925 on the rebirth of this forgotten city, and these are among the first pictures permitted of the huge project, which lays bare a hint of the ancient splendor that was Rome.
FISHING STRIKE TIES UP TUNA INDUSTRY IN LOW-PRICE PROTEST

SAN PEDRO, Cal. -- To battle the low rates offered by the canners, 4,000 fishermen, operating craft valued at $9,000,000, successfully cripple a $50,000,000 trade. Fish Harbor is jammed with idle boats as the belligerent sailors roam the beach, readying their vessels for their return to the waters when the disagreement is settled.
