Thank You video has been reported.
REMEMBER: Censorship was a cornerstone of National Socialism and Imight add Communism which led to the deaths of so many millions around the globe.
The 6 minute introduction to this program is called Dachau ConcentrationCamp, a short newsreel film produced by the US Army Signal Corp shortly after it's liberation.
VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED
GRAPHIC IMAGES
On the morning of April 29, 1945 the US Army liberated a Konzentrations Lager (KZ) (concentration camp) outside the town ofDachau, Germany. Not far from Munich, the birthplace of Adolph Hitlers version of National Socialism.
Men of the 45th "Thunderbird" Division were the first to
enter the camp.
The story they tell is still vivid in their minds almost 50 yearslater when these interviews were conducted in the fall of 1988.
The men in this documentary are all gone now.
May we never forget them, the war that killed so many and most of
all the camps and what they represented.
April 29, 2020 marks the 75th anniversary of that liberation.
Addendum:
This documentary was produced over 30 years ago.
It tells something about the men who liberated the camp at Dachauin the spring of 1945.
In many ways we are now living in a concentration camp so manyyears later, what I consider a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Who will be there to liberate us.....
REVIEWS:
Highest rating. Highly recommended. Editor's choice.
"The Liberation of KZ Dachau is a powerful testament from the
men who entered the Nazi death camp." ………Video Librarian
"Executed with great eloquence, The Liberation of KZ Dachau
is ninety-four gripping minutes of true-life drama disguised as a
documentary."………Wilson Library Bulletin
"The emotions of this story sweep over the viewer, who is
caught by its compassion and anger. A telling and difficult story
beautifully realized." ………Charlotte International Film
Festival
"Recommended viewing" ……….Library Journal
"…. Really quite gripping. I know of no work, written or
filmed, that conveys better the complex and haunting inner emotions
of American soldiers at the liberation of Dachau. Strong's film is a
remarkable achievement. I was very impressed, especially by the
variety in the interview, in the narrative thread, and in the
directness of the testimony." Robert H. Abzug, Professor of
History and American studies, The University of Texas at Austin
"The Liberation of KZ Dachau is a fine piece of work, which
treats oral history material with objectivity and sensitivity. It is
good to see a Holocaust film in which visual material is used
carefully and accurately. We are delighted to add this film to our
collection and to recommend its use." ……..Bonnie Gurewitsch,
Archivist, Museum of Jewish Heritage
