Fifty-four years ago to the day, a young jewish boy from a
small town in the carpathian mountains woke up, not far
from goethe's beloved weimar, in a place of eternal infamy
called buchenwald. he was finally free, but there was no
joy in his heart. he thought there never would be again.
liberated a day earlier by american soldiers, he
remembers their rage at what they saw. and even if he
lives to be a very old man, he will always be grateful to
them for that rage, and also for their compassion. though
he did not understand their language, their eyes told him
what he needed to know — that they, too, would
remember, and bear witness.
