On October 13, 2010, Anthony Acevedo donated personal materials to the Holocaust Museum's permanent collection. Acevedo, a medic with the US Army's 70th Infantry Division during World War II, was captured by the Germans at the Battle of the Bulge and became a prisoner of war. He and several hundred fellow soldiers were transferred to Berga am Elster, a section of Buchenwald concentration camp. Acevedo was charged with caring for his fellow prisoners and recorded in a small diary the names and numbers of those who died to ensure their sacrifice would be remembered.

The Holocaust Museum is honored that he donated his diary and other materials to its permanent collection.

    My great grandpa was a POW in WWII his name is Abraham Antonio. And for each week he was held captive he used the guards cigaret to burn a small circle on his leg. He was held for almost two year before he was set free.
