A World War II veteran from New Jersey has made it his life’s mission to educate people about what he saw as a concentration camp liberator. His story is now the subject of a new exhibit at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans.
“ I am also a Jew.’ It just came out of me and of course once I said that, that was the connection with those poor souls,” says Alan Moskin.
The 95-year-old grew up in Englewood and now lives in Rockland County, New York. He recalls the first words he spoke to Nazi concentration camp survivors as he and other American troops liberated the Gunskirchen Lager camp in Austria on May 4, 1945.
