Description
In honor of the 80th Anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge and Holocaust Remembrance Day, we would like to invite you to attend our Ranger Talk on the "Buffalo Soldiers and the Holocaust"
During World War II, as the Allied Forces pushed into German controlled areas, they encountered and liberated survivors held in concentration camps. The Allied Forces included American Army segregated all-Black units, nicknamed the Buffalo Soldiers. This connection built on shared experiences culminated in the fight against injustice abroad and at home.
The presentation will also include an audio clip from an interview of Leon Bass, who documented his experience liberating the Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany.
What are the causes and consequences of prejudice and injustice, and how does an individual’s response to them reveal his/her true character?
