26 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | NOVEMBER 2015 | Yiddish Culture Club How fortunate we are to be able to hold our November meeting on Veterans' Day, Nov. 11. We will honor our Sun Lakes Veterans and Servicemen with a very special program that evening beginning at 7 pm and held in the Main Clubhouse Ballroom. Come and meet Anthony (Tony) Acevedo (photo inset), a local resident, whose secret diary became the basis for this National Geographic documentary "Hitler's GI Death Camp" which is the nearly forgotten story of captured American GI's who were sent to work and die alongside European Jews and become statistics of the Holocaust. Tony, an Army medic captured at the Battle of the Bulge, was sent to Berga concentration camp along with Jewish-American POWs because to German eyes his features looked Jewish. Berga-Elster, a town in Thuringia, Germany, was the site of the secret slave labor camp "Berga an der Elster" where the inmates, supplied by Buchenwald concentration camp and a POW camp, Stalag IX-B, had to dig 17 tunnels, some of them 150 feet below ground, for an underground ammunition factory. However, the camp's additional purpose was "annihilation through labor" and prisoners were intentionally worked to death. This extermination was carried out until the war's end when the prisoners were subjected to a forced death march to keep ahead of advancing allied forces. Everyone is invited to come and watch this amazing story and honor Tony as well as other Sun Lakes POWs and Veterans who will be in attendance. A question and answer session will take place after this 51 minute film. Refreshments will be served. There will be no charge for either members or non-members for this event.
