Murrow at Buchenwald

Broadcast three days after the camp was reached

10 minFrom The Death of Roosevelt

Murrow filed this while America was still burying its president, because the war had not stopped for the funeral. He describes what he had walked through at Buchenwald on 12 April in flat, unornamented sentences and then hands back to New York. It remains the single most cited broadcast in the history of the medium.
