This collection comprises two separate deposits: a copy report by a former inmate, Eric Walters, of Dachau and Buchenwald, on conditions in those camps and a microfilm collection of proforma lists of Dachau inmates' possessions.

According to a note at the beginning of the report, Eric Walters, the author, mentions that it was written between March and October 1939, after he was released from Buchenwald. The report entitled Tiere bewachen Menschen has been published in English under the title Monsters and Men.

The provenance of the microfilm lists of Dachau prisoners' possessions is unknown. The 75 lists are arranged alphabetically and contain the following details: name, prisoner number, date and place of birth, date of entry, prisoner type (ie SCH= Schutzhäftling- protective custody; AZR= Arbeitszwang Reich- forced labour by Reich order; PSV= Polizeiliche Sicherungsverwahrung- police security prisoner).
