Berga, Soldiers of another war

Thousands of American G.I.s, including soldiers in Guggenheim's 106th Infantry Division, were captured by the Nazis during the Battle of the Bulge. Those "identified" as being Jewish -- along with fellow G.I.s who "looked Jewish" or had "Jewish-sounding" last names -- were selected to fulfill a quota and shipped off to a satellite of the notorious concentration camp at Buchenwald where they suffered harrowing atrocities as slave laborers.

"This film reveals the little known story of Berga. In December 1944, thousands of American prisoners were transported to Stalag 9B. The Nazi guards asked all the Jews to identify themselves. When no one responded they chose soldiers that "looked Jewish" or had "Jewish-sounding" names, and shipped them off to Berga, a satellite camp to the infamous Buchenwald. These Americans suffered the same as all the other Jews in the camp."@en
