ok…that last post was pretty heavy stuff, but i think it was important. and, i’m actually not done with that subject because there’s another set of images from a camp in belgium called fort breendonk, and that was a seriously scary place. the set from vught kind of wore me out, though – looking at...

six million. that’s the number we all remember. world war 2 claimed the lives of 4 times that many russians, and between civilians and military, over 7 million germans perished. but, 6 million is the number we remember. almost a half-million american dead, but still….6 million is the number we’re all taught in history classes...

Beautiful photos of a very sad subject. I think we would like to find out more about “cousin” Virgil. jp
beautiful pictures, emotional subject. By the grace of GOD my DAD wasn’t there.

Will,
Thank you for posting these beautiful pictures. Virgil was my Grandfather. My Aunt, Virgil’s daughter, has recently given me information regarding his time in service and I am beginning my own research. Your photos are very moving. May I ask where you got your information?
david, it’s a real treat to hear from you. i’ll email you soon with some info. thanks also for the kind words about the images.
