Details | Near the end of World War II, as Allied troops advanced across
Europe, they came across concentration camps containing thousands of
survivors. The troops freed the prisoners from the camps and provided
them with food and medical supplies. Among the liberators of Dachau was
Texas native Private First Class Henry Lee Maxey, a member of the 42nd
Infantry Division. Sara Abosch-Jacobson, Barbara Rabin Chief Education
Officer, and Anne Hanisch, Project Cataloger, will discuss the experiences of
liberators and feature selected artifacts from the Maxey Liberator
Collection in the Museum’s archives. This program is part of the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum's History Highlights series.
