When [American troops] got to the concentration camps, some prisoners were saying, "They cursed when they saw us; and to us their curses were like PRAYERS."

My dad also saw newly liberated Nazi concentration camps during his service as an American infantryman. I've never heard that American troops at liberated concentration camps cursed at the prisoners. Judging from word of mouth stories I'm familiar with, Gen. Eisenhower would have made them pay a price for that if he knew it was happening.

I understood that to mean the American troops cursed the monsters who could do that to human beings, not the prisoners.

NO! NO! The American soldiers DID NOT curse at the PRISONERS in the camps. They CURSED at the NAZIS who they had either just killed or who had hightailed it out of there just minutes before the Americans had arrived at the camps. -

The American soldiers cursed because they COULD NOT FATHOM that any supposedly civilized culture could have treated any human being so horribly. It was beyond any decent person’s comprehension.
