I came across this website while doing research on a book that I am writing with Holocaust survivor Martin Small, former inmate of Mauthausen concenration camp. I have a great amount of respect and gratitude for the brave men who liberated this camp and who fought and died for an ideal. They are America's finest and they make me proud.

On behalf of my friend, Martin Small, I want to thank Jim Curry, member of the 11th who helped save his life by carrying his frail body from the barracks so that he could be counted among the living.
