Anthony Acevedo is retired US
serviceman, who was captured
and held as a Prisoner of War by the
Germans
He's not a Jew, but he's elbowed
himself in to the Hollow-Caustic
racquet, acquiring quasi-survivor
status, as the Nazis picked on him
because he looks and sounds like a
Jew!
He has ho£ocau$t tales which would
make Elie Wiesel proud:
"We heard about experiments that they were doing -- peeling the skins of people, humans, political prisoners,
making lampshades."
making lampshades."
If any one attempted to escape, the
Nazis used "wooden bullets" "to
shatter the inside of
their
brains" and then the Nazi medics
were "asked to fill the execution
holes with wax"
On a trip to Buchenwald, he thought
he was going to be gassed,
but miraculously he was only made to
take a shower.
Although he was held at Buchenwald
subcamp Berga, he was still forced on
a
"death march of 217 miles (349
kilometers)
that would last three weeks" and
kill 135 US soldiers. He doesn't
mention where he was death marched
to.
He wanted to perform a tracheotomy
using his diary pen on his friend,
but the Nazis wouldn't let him, so
his friend died.
Rat n' Cat Soup with Sawdust Bread
"The U.S. prisoners, Acevedo says,
were given 100 grams of bread
per week made of redwood sawdust,
ground glass and barley.
Soup was made from cats and rats, he
says. Eating dandelion
leaves was considered a "gourmet
meal.""
Acevedo says the world must never
forget the atrocities of World War
II and that
for killing 6 million Jews, Hitler
was the worst terrorist of all
time."
"I'll never forget," he says.
