While demonstrators picketed outside the meeting carrying placards reading ECT WAS APPROVED IN BUCHENWALD and CONTROL PSYCHIATRY WHILE YOU STILL HAVE A MIND TO, doctors inside reported that fully half of ECT patients questioned in a survey feared the treatment less than going to the dentist...
Elie Wiesel hated it. NBC'S 9½-hour docudrama, Holocaust, so offended the author and survivor (Buchenwald, Auschwitz) that he wrote: "Untrue, offensive, cheap: as a TV production, the film is an insult to those who perished and to those who survived.

"The average life span of a Jew there was 48 hours. At one point in the filming, Cyril Shaps, a totally professional English actor of Jewish descent, was putting on his pajama-striped prison garb in the barracks at Mauthausen; suddenly he said...
...material in question. They have joined in the discussion with regard for their fellow students who have taken offense at the humor directed at ethnic groups. Most importantly, the Lampoon will take every reasonable step to discontinue the use of thoughtless racial stereotypes and material such as The Lampoon Buchenwald advertisement. Quite rightly, they take the position that they must retain editorial discretion and on this we are agreed...
