Personal accounts are some the most valuable pieces of history we can learn from. Today two people who witnessed the Holocaust took stage at the International Conference on World War II’s Holocaust Symposium and presented their poignant accounts of this history.
T. Moffatt Burriss (top) served with the 3rd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 82nd Airborne Division when he was a part of the liberation of Wobbelin Concentration Camp in Germany in May 1945. Watch the accounts he presented today.
David Wisnia (bottom) turned 13 on August 31, 1939. One day later, his country Poland was invaded and his life changed forever. He spent two and half years in Auschwitz. He survived a prisoner death march to Dachau and managed to escape from his German captors, finding the famed 101st Airborne Division, where he served as a translator. Watch his interview “One Voice, Two Lives: From Auschwitz Prisoner to 101st Airborne Trooper."
