The laminated mimeographed copy of James Gannon's article, "We Weren't to Blame, They said, When Slaves Died," which originally appeared in the 10 Apr 1945 issue of Stars and Stripes, describes what American soldiers discovered when they liberated Ohrdruf concentration camp and the feelings expressed by Germans who lived nearby as American soldiers forced them to examine the camp. "The Holocaust did Happen," from the 17 Jun 1993 issue of the Hollis News, provides some biographical information about the war-time activities of Chester Harrison and also reprints the above Stars and Stripes article.
