Many thanks to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum for making these testimonies available to the public. Today’s #TestimonyTuesday comes from John Holmes, an African American soldier who recounts his experience fighting in Europe and liberating the survivors of a labor camp. We thank Mr. Holmes for his service, his kindness to survivors and his important testimony!

See his testimony here!
