Event
Film: BERGA: Soldiers of Another War
USA, 2002, 85 minutes, Documentary
Director: Charles Guggenheim
The late documentary filmmaker Charles Guggenheim sought to uncover the truth about the death of a fellow army friend from the American 106th Infantry Division, that was largely destroyed in the December, 1944 Battle of the Bulge. What he uncovered became the basis for BERGA: SOLDIERS OF ANOTHER WAR, which reveals Nazi atrocities inflicted on 350 American 106th P.O.W.s who were "classified" as Jews and sent via boxcars without food or water to Berga, a satellite camp of Buchenwald. Until now, the surviving soldiers' stories remained untold. Guggenheim, a four-time Academy Award-winner, wrote and directed the film, and because of his personal connection, narrated the film for the first and only time in his distinguished career.
