Скачать или смотреть US Soldier's Forbidden WW2 Diary From Nazi Death Camp: Pfc. Anthony Acevedo | Shortfactwizard

Uncover the extraordinary resilience of Private First Class Anthony Acevedo, a 20-year-old Mexican-American medic with the 275th Infantry, 70th Infantry Division, in this poignant ShortFactWizard YouTube Short. Captured during the Battle of the Bulge on January 6, 1945, Acevedo was misidentified as Jewish by the Nazis and sent to Berga, a brutal Buchenwald subcamp, where 350 U.S. soldiers endured slave labor digging tunnels for V-2 rockets. Risking execution, he secretly kept a diary, meticulously documenting the deaths of 68 comrades by starvation and execution, as well as Nazi atrocities, including orders to fill bullet holes in murdered soldiers’ heads with wax to hide war crimes. Sustained by his Catholic faith and sketches of pinup girls, Acevedo survived a grueling 217-mile death march, weighing only 87 pounds at liberation on April 23, 1945. His diary, donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2010, became a vital firsthand account of Nazi horrors, making him the first recognized Mexican-American Holocaust survivor. This 55-second tribute honors Acevedo’s courage and defiance in the face of unimaginable hardship.
