When the prisoners had an inkling that the war was nearing an end, what with the Allied troops invading Austria, they wanted to something special for the soldiers. With fabric scraps, they constructed an American flag. With no model to go on, they put in an extra row of stars -- hence the flag with fifty-six stars. Very touching; haunting illustrations. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
On May 6, 1945, when members of the 11th Armored Division of the U.S. Army marched into the Mauthausen concentration camp, they were presented with an extraordinary gift. A group of prisoners, had surreptitiously pieced together a U.S. flag with an extra row of stars. Colonel Richard Seibel had the flag proudly flown over the camp as a symbol of freedom. This inspiring account of the liberation of one of the Third Reich's most infamous camps is a tribute to the humanity and hope preserved by the survivors. The paintings by Bill Farnsworth depict the events. Source notes, a bibliography, further resources, an index, and a reproduction of the actual flag are included.
