...Friday, day of fasting and penitence, some 2,000 young Germans made an elevenmile pilgrimage to the onetime concentration camp at Dachau, where Munich's Bishop Johannes Neuhaeusler, a former inmate, dedicated a chapel to Christ's agony (a jarring note was the appearance of Hitler's financial wizard, Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, who did a brief spell in Dachau himself...
...about one-half of the camps they visited, the Red Cross inspectors found conditions "satisfactory to good." (One of the best, they noted, was run by a French officer who had been an inmate of Nazi Germany's Dachau concentration camp.) But at the "transit camp'' of Cinq-Palmiers in the Algiers military district, the inspectors found six prisoners, three of whom displayed recent contusions, jammed into a single cell; at their feet lay the corpse of yet another Moslem who had died unattended during the preceding night. At Telagh, in Oran military district, the wrists...

...Tories last week, the circumstance is different when Greek incites fellow Greek to terrorism. And Britain, which in a desperate hour sent what troops it could spare to Greece to fight off the Nazis, dislikes being told now by NATO partner Greece that its rule on Cyprus is like Dachau and Auschwitz. Even some responsible Greeks, apparently including Premier Karamanlis himself, were fearful that their propagandists were going too far. But Greece was in the midst of an election campaign, and moderation was not the mood of the moment...
