Description
States that the West did not trust Soviet photojournalism due to its ideological bias, so when the Soviet media published photographs of the victims of the Holocaust, the West considered these pictures unreliable. After the liberation of Majdanek the Soviets organized visits there of the local population and foreign journalists so that they could see for themselves.
