Liberator Dee E. travels to Germany

A member of our Speakers Bureau, Dee E., recently traveled to Germany for the 65th anniversary of the liberation of Dachau. During the war, Dee was a soldier in the 42nd Rainbow Division that liberated the concentration camp.

Dee wrote us:

We returned from Dachau yesterday. After a long travel day (May 4, which seemed never ending) I am finally beginning to feel more or less normal.

Our time there from April 28 until May 4 included one ceremony after another, with survivors and their extended families from many countries.

We were invited guests of the Dutch Oud Dachauers, the International Dachau Committee, and the Dachau Memorial Museum. Our daughter from Alaska accompanied my wife and me and helped to keep me headed in the right directions for the multiple events and appearances.


Thank you to Katie E. for sending us pictures of their travels. For more information about the ceremony (and to see another pictures of Dee--he's on the left), read this article from the World Jewish Congress here...
