Tale of a Philanthropist
Of the many moments in his life as a man of Jewish persuasion, one was especially profound. In 1945, as an American soldier, he and his fellow soldiers liberated Dachau, the huge concentration camp outside of Munich. When they arrived, the German guards had fled, and the Russians soldiers hadn't yet gotten there. Gene used his camera to record scenes of thousands of Jewish prisoners that serve as a permanent reminder of crimes against humanity. His pictures have been used in countless World War II documentaries.
