Videotape testimony of Irving G., who was born in 1919 and served with the United States Army in a signal battalion in World War II. He recounts landing at Omaha Beach; moving toward Germany during the Battle of the Bulge; entering a concentration camp after the Germans had left; emaciated inmates who looked like "skeletons"; soldiers giving them their rations; speaking Yiddish with a prisoner; later entering Nordhausen; piles of corpses; the pervasive stench; locals feigning ignorance of the camp; and not sharing his experiences after returning home. Mr. G. discusses nightmares about the camps and recently sharing his experiences with his children and others.
