Edward Murrow's response to S. K. Ratcliffe's letter
In this letter, Edward R. Murrow says that he got a mixed reception to his broadcast about Buchenwald, but thought his story was at least believed. He also counters Ratcliffe's supposition that the mass of German people did not know what was happening at Buchenwald. He believes that many people in Weimar did know where and what Buchenwald was.
