Abstract
Sigmund Liberman was a private in the 104th Infantry Division, which liberated Dora-Mittelbau on April 11, 1945. When they captured the camp, he and several other men went to see it; Liberman thinks he was chosen to go because he was Jewish. Several of the prisoners approached them, and he was able to speak to them a little in Yiddish. He was sent to bring people from the nearby town to bury the bodies; when they got back to the camp, other soldiers had the task of supervising the burials while Liberman and his unit went on. Liberman has been frequently interviewed about his military service and was formerly the commander of his local Jewish War Veterans group. In this interview, Liberman also recounts his Battle of the Bulge experiences.
