Documenting the Path of American Liberators (part 3)

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.

Part 3: Defeat of the Third Reich and The End of the War
-- Nuremberg (Late April 1945)
-- Collapse of the Wehrmacht (April - May 1945)
-- Liberation of Forced/Slave Laborers (Fall 1944 - Summer 1945)
-- Liberation of Polish POWs (April 1945)

Germans keep highly accurate records, Where are the records of the concentration

camps ? I'v never heard of them. Do they exist ?

[ushmm]

@ThePresterJohn The Archives and Photo Archives of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum contain 56 million+ pages plus 130 million digital images from the Int’l Tracing Service and 83,000 historic photographs. The US National Archives and Records Administration houses 70,000+ rolls of microfilm of captured German and related records from WWII, many available at Footnote dot com. Also, the Holocaust History Project makes many Holocaust-related German documents available online with translation.

My uncle was one of the liberators at Dachau. The fact of the Holocaust is fully documented. You, and all of the other Holocaust deniers, are the ones trying to perpetuate a hoax. If any of you were in possession of a brain, you might be dangerous. As it is, you are just a pitiful joke.

That doesn't even make sense. And if the Jews were so crafty as to conduct such an enormous hoax as the Holocaust, why haven't they done it again to silence those of us who accept it as fact?

@ushmm And that is just what the USHMM has. In Europe there are major archives too.

[ThePresterJohn]

I am not a Holocaust denier. I asked Ushmm a simple question, and he kindly gave me the answers. Thanks for that.

[RebelSonBand]

@ThePresterJohn Yes they do...

Anyone who denies the holocaust are disgusting excuses for human beings. There are pictures, video, death camps and survivors. Are you seriously that stupid? I mean really, how does it feel to know that you are ridiculously stupid?

@SpeedyNeutrino43

even your mass murder heroes churchill etc admitted that dresden had no strategic reason besides killing as many civilians as possible and completely destroy a part of german culture. The USAF&RAF even destroyed the mid-eval "museum city" of Rothenburg with its world famous art treasures - which is good prrof that nearly all ot 45 raids were pure barbarism.

@worldwidesquirrel
