And that triggers my memory. As WWII was winding down, the unit known as the Brave Rifles (2nd Armored Cav) had crossed into Austria, where they liberated the Death Camp at Ebensee. The first tank in was commanded by Bob Persinger. I got to talk to him and get his story of that day. Horrible horrible things. My father was commanding another one of the tanks. He had many stories but never spoke of that day.

I cannot relate to the reality of that situation, but there is an episode in the "Band of Brothers" series where they discover one of the Nazi death camps. It is a chilling episode, and really captures the situation well. It's titled "Why We Fight".
