What distinguished Edward R. Murrow’s April 1945 concentration camp broadcast was the people of Buchenwald. While other journalists focused on the dead as “dumps of unburied corpses” and the living as “wretched remnants,” Murrow described the inmates as people who had lives before their internment. Murrow’s work a decade earlier with Jewish professors fired by the Nazi regime helped him sense humanity when others perceived nothing but carnage. Yet, like other correspondents covering the liberation, Murrow never mentioned Jews in his broadcast. Nor had he done much on the plight of Europe’s Jews while they were being murdered, broadcasting a single story. Despite his displaced scholars work and his London base, Murrow never fully recognized the extermination of European Jewry as an important news story.

捍卫人类，忽视暴行：爱德华·默罗和大屠杀

Edward R. Murrow 1945 年 4 月集中营广播的杰出之处在于布痕瓦尔德的人民。其他记者将死者视为“未埋葬的尸体堆”，将生者视为“可怜的残余物”，而默罗将这些囚犯描述为在被拘留之前还活着的人。十年前，默罗与被纳粹政权解雇的犹太教授的工作帮助他在其他人认为只有大屠杀时感受到人性。然而，就像其他报道解放的记者一样，默罗从未在他的广播中提到犹太人。他也没有对欧洲犹太人被谋杀时的困境做太多报道，只播放一个故事。尽管他流离失所的学者工作和他的伦敦基地，默罗从未完全承认欧洲犹太人的灭绝是一个重要的新闻报道。
