US Army Medic Donates Holocaust Diary To Museum

This is an amazing story. The soldier's name is Tony Acevedo, and he is the son of illegal immigrants.

He volunteered to serve during WWII, was captured during the Battle of the Bulge and was held prisoner in a slave labor camp. While in the camp, he continued his duties as an army medic and documented what he saw.

He documented deaths, documented how they were treated, documented what they were forced to do. He is the first person of Mexican American heritage to register as a survivor at the Holocaust Museum.

This man is a hero and should be treated as such.
