And we continue to let it live, even when those who experienced it are still among us and able to recount its horror.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

For decades denied by our government. American POWs used as slave labor alongside workers from SS camps in the east.
For those interested, other links here and Berga: Soldiers of Another War . A second book the title of which escapes me.
I have a friend who fought in WWII as a platoon leader in Italy. He told me once that he frowned on shooting German prisoners, and whenever he caught his men doing it, he gave them a good chewing out.
Such an important story. Thanks for posting.
I’m sorry I read the comments, though. How people can be so hateful about the victims of something as horrific as the Holocaust just amazes me.
Kleenex Alert - there are no words after watching this video. This is a must video to remind each of us what we owe these American patriots. We face the same evil today.

So much was covered up during WWII that is only starting to come out in the last few years.
History as always told us that for the most part Nazis treated US & Brit POWs fairly well. Guess there is more to the story.

Thank you for posting this story.
he believed it was his duty as an Army medic to catalog the deaths and the atrocities against the 350 U.S. soldiers at the camp known as Berga, a subcamp of the notorious Buchenwald compoundThanks SJackson.
Bless this man.
I’ve been to the Holocaust museum but somehow the cattle car is not part of my memory of it. I do remember having a hard time, crying a lot.
I am glad that it is personally difficult for me to truly imagine that real humans can do this to others. I am so sorry for what these soldiers went through, and I pray our government will not be so heartless to those like them in the future. G-d knows of their service and what they went through, and I am glad this one could tell his story.
