This great man is a witness to history. He IS living history. He was there and saw the camp personally. He is a primary source; living and breathing, to the Holocaust and to WWII.

Thank you for sharing your first hand account of your war experiences... It will be less than 20-30 years before there will be no one left. I am so glad they are doing this!

@Mtbfanro it's different now with videos and photos and the internet allot harder to deny something on this magnitude when we can flood the cyberworld with the truth..as this man is doing now.

My father was at Buchenwald concentration camp. He told me all about it. I will not forget!! I am passing it down to the next generation. Never Again!!!

@PixieKiss403 my biggest concern is that when all the witnesses like this guy are gone because of passage of time, the deniers will be able to change history as they please. it is my belief that unfortunatelly, the history over 100 years from today will be completely different.

also i am sure that we only know a tiny percentage of the horrors that took place in the camps, a lot of things remain untold... like the famous quote "all those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain".

He said it was "obvious the Germans

Knew what was going on." Hitler never could've carried this out without German citizens just looking the other way. Not to mention the thousands of other people living in the towns & villages next to the camps in Poland & other countries who ignored the smells of burning flesh, & trainloads full of people who just seemed to vanish.

that poor man would have had to live with those images for the rest of his life. God Bless all soldiers who fight for their country (against evil) - we should be so proud of them.

My grandfather was at Omaha Beach on D-Day +1. He pushed through with the US Army all the way to Austria in the spring of 1945.

He passed away 4 years ago, but I asked him, a few years before, if he ever came across a concentration camp. He simply said, "Thank God. No. I don't know what our fellas who did went through. Just terrible. Terrible."

Thank you Mr. Roberts for doing what you did.
