CURATOR’S CORNER
In this virtual “Curator’s Corner” from April 28, 2021, the Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center’s Museum and Programming Director, Dr. Thorin Tritter, discussed a letter sent by Jim Van Raalte, of the US Signal Corps, to his family in June of 1945, describing his first-hand account of visiting the concentration camp at Buchenwald in the immediate aftermath of its liberation. Notably included in the letter was a photograph of one of the first memorials erected to the victims of the Holocaust.
