Hi, I just noticed this, but there is an inaccuracy. My father, Maurice Miller, was the division historical photographer of the 84th Infantry division throughout WWII, and he was the photographer of those two photos of the concentration camp liberations published in the "The 84th Infantry Division in the Battle of Germany" by Lt. Theodore Draper. I have plenty of proof- including a letter from Theo. Draper, and note also, the credits in that book are there, but hidden. Vernon Tott also took photos of the liberation of Ahlem Camp, as well did at least one other photographer. I have not been able to see the photos in the NY Times. Hats off to both of them for what they accomplished.
