Through researching my FIL's service in WW2, we have discovered that his Division (The Fourth or “IVY”) was recognized as a liberating unit, discovering a subcamp of Dachau (for Messerschmidt assembly) in April of that year. 2/4

We have no idea if he, a petroleum engineer, ever saw a camp first hand, but he knew about them. They all did eventually. He never spoke about it. But we should speak about it now. 3/4
The above is a cable from Gen. Eisenhower to Gen. Marshall requesting members of Congress and Journalists to view the newly liberated camps. He knew that people must see it to even begin to comprehend it. We must continue to repeat theses accounts, and never forget. 4/4
