Monday, May 20, 2019: 79 Years Ago Today; Opening Day at Auschwitz concentration camp
Kevin M. Kruse Retweeted
Today marks 75 years since the liberation of Auschwitz. This letter was written by Vilma Grunwald, who gave it to a guard moments before she entered the gas chamber with her disabled son, John. It was addressed to her husband, Kurt, who'd been put to work elsewhere at the camp.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
