520    Videotape testimony of Louis B., who was an American soldier in the 45th Infantry Division during World War II.  Mr. B. describes being raised in New Haven, Connecticut; military training; being stationed in North Africa; the invasion of Sicily on D-Day; moving north through Italy and France; and the liberation of Dachau in Germany.  He discusses the lack of knowledge regarding the camps and the "Final Solution;" coming upon thirty-nine boxcars filled with bodies on a railroad siding outside of Dachau; the horrendous condition of the prisoners; the American soldiers' efforts to assist them; and the emotional difficulty of dealing with these conditions.  He recalls the local German people's denial of knowledge of what had occurred inside Dachau and his complete disbelief; the American policy which made it compulsory for the local Germans to go through Dachau; the reactions of the American soldiers; and his dismay that so many "turned a deaf ear" to the events of the Holocaust while they were happening.
