Today's Moment to Remember

​On April 29 of 1945, the Dachau concentration camp and its satellite camps, which forced prisoners to work on German war munitions and armament, were liberated by U.S. troops.  Approximately, 30,000 prisoners were freed - mostly Jews and political prisoners from Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Austria. Three days later, Americans found and freed the Dachau death march prisoners - about 6,000 were found alive near the Austrian border.  

[Note:  Holocaust survivor and educator, Jack Adler, who gives a presentation to MVHS Sophomore English Honors classes each year, was a survivor of both the Auschwitz and Dachau concentration camps.  He was also one of the 6,000 liberated during the Dachau death march.  Here’s a link to some of his story.]​
