We have seen something here that overpowers the death of anyone back home. We have seen what can be called the living dead. Moving up into a new position we came across a prison camp...We went out to see what a concentration camp looked like...As we entered the camp the first thing we saw was the burned down buildings, but a little farther on we got the shock of our lives.
