Videotape testimony of Robert K., who was born in New York in 1920. He recalls enlisting in the United States Army at age twenty-one; assignment to the 101st Cavalry Reconnaissance; entering Europe shortly after D Day; receiving radio orders to proceed to a concentration camp in April 1945; prisoners wearing striped uniforms; mounds of smoldering bodies; smoking chimneys; giving the prisoners food; leaving the camp when they were relieved by other soldiers; and learning later that it had been Landsberg concentration camp. Mr. K. recounts his reaction of disbelief upon entering Landsberg and reads from a letter written by his army chaplain describing the camp and recounting converations with survivors who told of poisonings, gassing and other atrocities.
