SUMMARY:USHMM | “Indescribable Horror”: When Eisenhower Witnessed the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:American soldiers were unprepared for what they discovered in the Ohrdruf concentration camp in Germany in April 1945: piles of bodies\, walking skeletons on the verge of death\, and other unspeakable horrors. This shocking discovery prompted Supreme Allied Commander General Dwight D. Eisenhower to visit and bear witness to the atrocities himself. He was deeply affected by what he saw—and\, even then\, he anticipated a future where these crimes might be denied.\nEighty years later\, learn why Eisenhower’s visit to Ohrdruf was a critical moment in documenting and protecting the truth of the Holocaust.\nSPEAKERS\nSusan Eisenhower\, Expert in Residence at the Eisenhower Institute\, Chairman and CEO of The Eisenhower Group\, Inc.\, and Trustee and Chair Emerita of the Eisenhower Foundation\nAllison S. Finkelstein\, Senior Historian\, Arlington National Cemetery\nMODERATOR\nRebecca Erbelding\, Historian\, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum\nThis virtual program is free and open to the public\, but registration is required.
