Description: In 1933 Walter Poller was organizing illegal resistance groups against the Nazis. After being arrested several times, he was convicted of treason against Hitler's Reich and condemned to four years with hard labor. This sentence completed, he was sent to Buchenwald. As an inmate he worked as secretary to the camp doctor. He was in a unique position from which to witness and gather evidence of some of the most appalling atrocities in recorded history.
