"The famous photo above was taken at the Buchenwald concentration camp, inside Block #56, by Private H. Miller of the Civil Affairs Branch of the U. S. Army Signal Corps on April 16, 1945, five days after the camp was liberated by the Sixth Armored Division of the US Third Army on April 11, 1945. The photo was published by the New York Times on May 6, 1945 with the caption “Crowded Bunks in the Prison Camp at Buchenwald.”"

Above is the photograph which appeared in the New York Times on May 6, 1945 (full article, parts: one + two). You might notice (my admirer Carolyn Yeager had to point it out to me) that the guy standing on the right of the photograph has disappeared (or not yet appeared, more likely). The original article can be purchased on the New York Times' online archive, here is a link to this particular story. If the link is ever broken, a search for: "Crowded bunks in the prison camp at Buchenwald" on Google news' "archive" range, will find you the story.


His left arm, doesn't look at all natural against the wooden post


Contrast the acutance of the left arms against the posts.



Which is likely why the arm was mostly cropped on this display photo at the Buchenwald museum. This photo was taken on 29th January, 2012, and uploaded onto the web by philFlickrID.


Above is Obama on his pilgrimage to Buchenwald back in 2009, he's having "Elie Wiesel" pointed out to him on a large version of the photo from which the standing man has been cropped.


Clearly this photo was manipulated very soon after it was taken

Furtherglory wrote of the above photo:
"A traveling exhibit of huge, larger than life size photographs from the Nazi concentration camps, including Buchenwald, was first shown in St. Louis, MO in 1945 and then taken to Washington, DC. The photo above was taken in Summer — notice the white shoes."


OLDER NEWSPAPERS HAVE THE DOCTORED MAN IN THEM


The above is taken from the Monday, April 30, 1945, p.4 edition of the Moberly Monitor-Index
(Missouri), six days before the photo minus the standing man appeared in TheNew York Times.



The doctored photo also appeared in the Altoona Mirror (PA), April 30, 1945, p.1.



And it appeared in The Monessen Daily Independent (PA), May 1, 1945, p.2.
