Survivor Martin Greenfield | Genocide Awareness Month | USC Shoah Foundation #ProtectTheFacts

Holocaust survivor Martin Greenfield was born in Czechoslovakia in 1928. Martin survived the Mukačevo ghetto, Auschwitz II-Birkenau death camp, Auschwitz III-Monowitz concentration camp, and Buchenwald concentration camp. He was liberated by American armed forces at Buchenwald.

In this clip, Martin recalls how General Dwight D. Eisenhower forced the Germans to witness the atrocities that occurred in the camps, so they could not deny the truth in the future.

The #ProtectTheFacts Campaign defines Holocaust distortion as the “minimizing or misrepresentation of the impact of the Holocaust.” #ProtectTheFacts is an international initiative to raise awareness about Holocaust distortion – how to recognize it and how to counter it.

Join us this Genocide Awareness Month by sharing the message of #ProtectTheFacts with educational resources and downloadable social media posts:
