Content Note: Caption from a separate page: "This sign is on the wall of the furnace room at Buchenwald camp four miles outside Weimar, Germany where the bodies of starved and beaten victims of the Nazis were cremated after death freed them from a life of horror and agony. The sign reads 'No filthy worms shall nourish from my body; the clean flame--it shall consume me. I always love warmth and light, therefore cremate but bury me not.'
