This film was taken shortly after the liberation of Mauthausen. It features an American OSS officer, Lt. Jack Taylor, who was imprisoned in the camp and describes conditions there. There is no sound in the film until Taylor appears. Pictures are quite graphic. For more information on Taylor and other Americans who were sent to Mauthausen, see Mitchell G. Bard, Forgotten Victims: The Abandonment of Americans in Hitler's Camps. CO: Westview Press, 1994.
