Forum Squadron Members:

The poignant historical information below was forwarded to me by a former Marine aviator that I fly with. I do not now how long this Album has been available but it the first time that I have seen it. I know that this is very tragic & sensitive history but felt that it would be informative and valuable to see. I am Catholic so there are no religious views or anything political intended here-only history so please keep that in mind. That being said, the link is at the end of the introduction below which was forwarded to me. Thank you for reading.

AUSCHWITZ ALBUM

This Album memorializes the arrival of Hungarian Jews to
Auschwitz in May of 1944.

It is the only one of its kind, and it is solely due to
This album that we have a visual history of what occurred in the
Auschwitz-Birchenau death camp.

The Album was discovered after the war by an Auschwitz survivor, Lily Jacob,
Who donated it to Yad Vashem in
1980.

Now, with the aid of the Internet, it can be viewed by millions
Of people, anywhere in the world.

Please pass this around, to help assure that people
Will continue to bear witness to this
Evil legacy.

I can't think of anything to say. Just can't. I have a family tree with family members crossed out and written "Auschwitz". I just have to think and wonder if there is an aunt, an uncle

This thread, In the Shadow of Horror, SS Guardians Frolic, which I posted a few years back, seem to go together.
