    Overview

    Summary
    Videotape testimony of Martin L., who was born in New York in 1925 and enlisted in the Army in March 1943. He recalls training in the 42nd Infantry Division; traveling by ship to the United Kingdom; being flown to the Normandy coast in June 1944 after D-Day; assignment to the 90th Infantry Division; moving through France to Germany; entering Buchenwald; observing prisoners dying, extreme debilitation, and sickness; corpses all over; the crematoria; rooms filled with goods from murdered prisoners; local residents claiming not to have known what was there despite the pervasive stench; the townspeople being forced to observe the camp and assist in burying the dead; leaving after three days; and assignment to Munich after the war was over, assisting displaced persons. Mr. L. notes war memories stay with him. He shows photographs taken by the signal corps (not of Buchenwald).
