Abstract
This is an oral history interview with Jean Fenchel, widow of Holocaust concentration camp liberator Herbert D. Fenchel. Dr. Fenchel was a member of the 4th Armored Division, which liberated Ohrdruf on April 4, 1945. His tank was one of the first to enter the gates. He died in October 2008, before this interview was conducted. Mrs. Fenchel briefly describes her husband's initial encounter with Ohrdruf and recounts a trip that she and her husband made to the camp many years later.
