Documenting the Path of American Liberators (part 2)

Witness to History -- Documenting the Path of American Liberators

As Allied and Soviet troops moved across Europe in a series of offensives against Nazi Germany, they encountered concentration camps, mass graves, and numerous other sites of Nazi crimes.

Through documentation of the U.S. Army 167th Signal Photographic Company, this project honors the U.S. Army Divisions in World War II that liberated concentration camps.

Hey bud, the allies didn't draft your immigration laws. Talk to your own politicians. We have enough troubles with ILLEGAL aliens here in the US. It's not a racist comment, but I've never said there was anything wrong with a little national pride and sovereignty.

They are HUMAN just as you. The use of the term ILLEGAL ALIEN is a bit harsh however politically correct it may be. They are human beigns. Why not use immigrant instead of alien. Immigrant implies that they are what your older generations were. Alien makes us the villain.

This video is not about the current immigration problem. It is about the past deeds of brave Americans. Forget the present and focus on the past while watchingf it.
