Curator’s Corner: A “Ghost Army” Flag of Liberation

  • Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center 100 Crescent Beach Road Glen Cove, NY, 11542 United States (map)

Curator’s Corner

Thorin Tritter, the Museum and Programming Director, discussed a Nazi flag that was pulled down by Harold Fisch, an American soldier serving in the “Ghost Army” during WWII, who then covered the flag with the signatures of other soldiers in his unit, transforming it from a flag of hate to a flag of liberation.
