Abstract
Sol Feingold was a rifleman in the 42nd Infantry Division, which liberated Dachau on April 29, 1945. That day, he had been assigned to General Henning Linden's party as a scout; Linden was the officer to whom the camp was surrendered. Feingold did not spend a great deal of time in the camp, as his group had to keep moving, and thus did not speak to any of the prisoners. After the war, he was involved with researching several books about Dachau, and was a key figure in organizing the New England Holocaust Memorial in Boston. In this interview, Feingold also spends a great deal of time discussing the VA hospital where he resides.
