In Evidence is a collection of poems in the voices of allied troops who liberated Nazi concentration camps in Europe in the spring of 1945.

In Evidence is as stark as the stark realities it confronts. The 'liberation" its poems describe was a liberation only for a frightening few sad survivors. For the dead, and for the rest of humanity, it was a condemnation of the soul from which in some ways we shall never recover. This is a valuable and unfortunately a necessary work.
