Surviving Dachau ~ Liberating Mauthausen
During the time of Nazi Germany, millions of innocent people lost their lives and millions more survived torture, starvation, and unlivable circumstances that most of us cannot imagine. There are those who can imagine it because they experienced all of it. Eva Hance is one of those people who experienced these horrors and lived to eventually walk out of the Dachau Concentration Camp. Mark Geeslin, liberator of Mauthausen Concentration Camp, was with the United State's 11th Armored Division.
