Military Museum Commemorates 80th Anniversary of Dachau Liberation
Richard Goldenberg, a retired 42nd Infantry Division officer and veteran of the Iraq War, presents the combat history of the 42nd Infantry Division across Europe in the winter and spring of 1945, culminating with the Division's famous liberation of prisoners from the notorious Dachau Concentration Camp on April 29, 1945.
Goldenberg, a Schuylerville resident, will be joined by Evelyn Loeb, a Delmar resident, whose father Walter Loeb, was arrested following Kristallnacht and detained at Dachau in November 1938. He was released in the late winter of 1939, obtained passage to the United States in 1940 and would go on to serve in the U.S. armed forces in the Pacific theater. He passed away in 2009.
Loeb will first discuss her father’s experience before the program turns to liberation in 1945.
