Loved this book. My Dad was part of the 11th Armored Division who freed these people. Everything Wendy described, was exactly how my Dad, now 94 remembered. I don't remember him mentioning the babies, but the prisoners, the lice, and giving them l his rations was spot on. My Dad accompanied the photographer, as General Patton wanted this audacity fully documented, so that future generations would never allow something like this to happen again. When I was a child, he had a huge box of photographs - showing them digging the trenches to bury the dead, to how disgusting the kitchen was when they arrived and how quickly the army chefs cleaned it up, and started preparing meals - mainly soups as there bodies couldn't handle meals. This book should be required reading for every high school student.
