Abstract
Barry Jacobson was a member of the 63rd Infantry Division, though he was not with the units that liberated Kaufering in April 1945. After the war, he was stationed at the military government regional office in Stuttgart, where he met several displaced persons who had been prisoners at Dachau. These people told him about their experiences in the camp. Jacobson helped two of them correspond with relatives overseas. He also obtained several photographs of Dachau from another soldier.
