Today we know more of the true horror of The Holocaust, but at the time, Art Newell and his buddies were entirely unprepared for what they'd find as they forced the retreating Nazis back towards Germany. The sheer scale of human suffering is virtually unimaginable to us today. Please listen to this testimony so that we as a society can better understand how such crimes were able to be committed, and on such scale. You will hear dark stories about the grim reality of the mass extermination of human beings during World War II. This is the reality of history, and it is incumbent on all of us to learn from people who where there, and saw (or themselves fell victim to) these crimes first-hand.
Art Newell's war service record saw him facing down the Nazi war machine and all of its horrors. Mr Newell's actions in Europe, often accompanied by his childhood friend and fellow soldier, include tales of terrifying encounters with tanks and snipers, and the loss of many of his friends in violent and traumatic moments in the heat of battle. Perhaps the toughest experience in his war testimony is his detailed account of what it was like, as an American soldier unaware at the time of the true nature of Hitler's "Final Solution", to be amongst the first liberators into one of the very first concentration camps to be discovered by Allied forces. What did those first witnesses make of the crimes being committed against European Jews and others deemed "undesirable" by the Nazi regime? In this video you will hear, in his own words, a detailed first-person account of that horror. Viewer discretion is advised.
Thank you Mr Newell for your service and sacrifice, and for your willingness to share your experiences with the Remember WWII community.
