About: Join us on Zoom on May 8 at 7 p.m. CT to hear Jason S. Lantzer, Ph.D., author of Dwight Eisenhower and the Holocaust: A History, examine the conviction that shaped Eisenhower’s presidency and solidified American engagement in the postwar world.
General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, was familiar with the horrors of war. However, he was stunned by what he saw in April 1945 when visiting Ohrdruf Concentration Camp, the first Nazi camp liberated by American troops. He invited the media and others to document the dead, dying, and starving prisoners.
