Concentration Camp Photos - #1

These are the first of many pictures Wilbur Musser took while serving in the U.S. army in World War II in Germany in 1945. Unfortunately he did not label these pictures. We would love to know more about the circumstances surrounding these pictures. If you happen to have an idea of which concentration camp (we think it may be one of the Malthausen satellite camps - perhaps Ebensee) please kindly contact us. Wilbur Musser is the GI in the final snapshot.

Wilbur Musser's Life in Documents

Uncle Wilbur

My Uncle Wilbur was a hero. He served from 22 OCT 44 TO FEB 6 46. His battles and campaigns were the 1945 Rhineland Central European Theater. He earned the Service Medal with 2 bronze stars, the Victory Medal and the Good Conduct Medal.
I have a large number of his photographs that he took during his tour of duty. Please contact me if you have an interest in learning more. Herman Wu

In Memory of Wilbur Musser

Let us now praise famous men, and our fathers that begat us...

All these were honoured in their generations, and were the glory of their times.

There be of them, that have left a name behind them, that their praises might be reported.

And some there be, which have no memorial; who are perished, as though they had never been; and are become as though they had never been born; and their children after them.

But these were merciful men, whose righteousness hath not been forgotten.

With their seed shall continually remain a good inheritance, and their children are within the covenant.

Their seed standeth fast, and their children for their sakes.

Their seed shall remain for ever, and their glory shall not be blotted out.

Their bodies are buried in peace; but their name liveth for evermore...

Ecclesiasticus XLIV
