“I do not know words that are strong enough or expressive enough

to describe the horror I saw in those few days.”

—US Army Signal Corps photographer

The special exhibition American Witnesses highlights the experiences of men and women in the

US military who saw first-hand evidence of Nazi atrocities in April 1945. Using their oral, written,

and visual testimony, it explores their reactions to what they saw and heard. This exhibit also

includes first-hand testimonies of Holocaust survivors liberated by US military personnel.
