LONDON,

(CP)
A
report
from
London
today
discloses
that
moviegoers
in
the
British
capital
who
were
unable
to
stomach
atrocity
newsreels
tried
to
leave
but
were
turned
back
by
Allied
soldiers
and
forced
to
see
for
themselves
what
other
people
have
had
to
endure
in
Nazi

Many

that

are

of
such
atrocities.
These

arc
proof."
The
official
record
of
Nazidom's
crimes
against
civilization
continues
to
mount.
Prime
Minister
Churchill
has
warned
that
every
German
from
high
to
low
responsible
for
the
outrages
will
be
made
to
pay.
A
British
parliamentary
delegation
has
gone
to
Germany
to
get
a
first
hand
view
of
enemy
atrocities.
One
of
the
most
infamous
camps
set
up
by
the
Germans
was
at
Lublin
in
Poland.
It
was
liberated
last
year.
There,
thousands
of
Polish
men,
women
and
children
were
found
to
have
been
killed.
Before
death,
the
Poles
were
forced
to
remove
their
clothes,
which
then
were
dis-
tributcd
to
the
Gcnnan
popu
lation.

horrors
were
uncovered
with
the
liberation
of
the
notorious
Buchcnwald
prison
camp.
The
Belgian
minister
of
Justice
in
1940
Eugene
Soudan
was
rescued
from
tills
camp.
He
said
that
as
approaching
Allied
forces
ncarcd
the
camp
last
week,
about
1500
prisoners
were
taken
away
and
machine-gunned.
At
Leipzig,
liberated
by
American
forces
tills
week,
more
than
200
Russian,
French
and
Polish
prisoners
were
burned
to
death.
The
day
before
the
Americans
reached
the
camp,
the
Germans
locked
the
prisoners
in
huts,
poured
gasoline
around
them,
and
set
fire
to
them.
General

has
said
that
