Yad Veshem (in Hebrew: \u201ca monument and a name\u201d) is the World Holocaust Remembrance Center in Jerusalem, a 44.5-acre complex consisting of the Holocaust History Museum, the Children\u2019s Memorial, the Hall of Remembrance, the Museum of Holocaust Art, sculptures, the Valley of the Communities, a synagogue, a research institute with archives, a library, a publishing house, and the International School\/Institute for Holocaust Studies. You enter the Children\u2019s Memorial in pitch darkness, then emerge into a large room filled with pinpricks of light like stars in the night sky. Each star represents a dead child. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n On December 11, 1941, Nazi Germany declared war against the United States. Before World War II finally ended on September 2, 1945, the U.S. would engage in \u201ctotal war\u201d against the Axis powers of Japan, Germany, and Italy, and almost sixty million people would die. Among those dead would be more than six million Jews, Roma and Sinti, homosexuals, communists, political prisoners, and \u201ccommon\u201d criminals, murdered by the Third Reich in slave-labor and concentration camps. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n More than ten million American men were inducted into the military to fight WWII. Of these veterans, the Texas Holocaust and Genocide Commission\u2019s Texas Liberator Project has identified, as of the date of publication of this book, more than three hundred men who were members of the five Texas military units that took part in the liberation of forty-three death camps. Among the camps liberated by Americans, including my grandfather John Merritt, were Buchenwald, Dora-Mittelbau, Mauthausen, and Landsberg, one of eleven subcamps of Dachau. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
