The camera pans chains of shell-shocked, pajama-clad prisoners, herded through this labyrinth of death by expressionless guards with drawn sub-machine guns and attack dogs. With Wagner's The Ride of the Valkyries punctuating its grisly movements, the camera catches sight of the grotesque forms of the hanged above the melee, pausing to observe the ironic inscription from Auschwitz which overlooks the courtyard: Arbeiten macht frei.

Died. Vivian Wilson Henderson, 52, economist, author and president of predominantly black Clark College in Atlanta since 1965; while undergoing open-heart surgery after a heart attack; in Atlanta. Describing himself as an economist who happened to be a college president, the University of Iowa-educated Henderson argued that the key social issue in America was not race but class.
