Letter from S. K. Ratcliffe to Edward Murrow with Glasgow Herald letterhead; April 16, 1945

This is a letter from the British journalist, S. K. Ratcliffe, then associated with The Glasgow Herald, to Edward R. Murrow. He says that he has heard Murrow's "appalling story," which "will produce an incalculable effect, for it was one of those rare spoken things that have the force of deeds." He is referring to a broadcast by Murrow about the Nazi persecution of Jews, particularly in the concentration camp at Buchenwald. He supposes that the "facts are wholly unknown to the German people in the mass."
