Julian L. Holocaust testimony (HVT-821) interviewed by Irving Gadol and Sue Kollinger,
Videotape testimony of Julian L., who enlisted in the United States Army on December 7, 1942. He recounts landing in Marseille; serving as an ammunition bearer; entering Germany; fear of being captured and mistreated as a Jewish soldier; encountering masses of Polish forced laborers; in April 1945 encountering weak, emaciated prisoners in stripped uniforms who spoke Yiddish; giving them their rations; guarding Polish displaced persons; and returning to the United States in March 1946. Mr. L. notes a book his military unit published; that parts of his unit (not his company) entered concentration camps; and his belief the Jewish survivors he saw were from Dachau, which he visited with his wife years later. He shows documents and his division's book.
