Part of the Helpers, Heroes, and Liberators season commemorating
the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe
Saturday, May 2, 2015
On May 6th, 1945, when the 11th Armored Division of the U.S. Army marched in the Mauthausen
concentration camp, they were presented with an extraordinary gift. Despite their desperate and
starving conditions, a group of prisoners had surreptitiously sewed scraps of sheets and jackets
together to make a U.S. flag. Even though the inmates had added an extra row of stars, Colonel
Richard Seibel had the flag flown over the camp as a tribute to the humanity, perseverance and
spirit of the survivors of Mauthausen.
In honor of this special event, The Anne Frank Center USA will host two very special guests:
liberator Alan Moskin, who helped liberate a sub-camp of Mauthausen in 1945 as Staff
Sergeant and member of the 66th infantry, 71st Division, which was part of General George
Patton’s 3rd Army. Alan will discuss his experiences as an infantry combat soldier and a
concentration camp liberator.
In addition, author Susan Goldman Rubin will read from her book The Flag with Fifty-Six Stars: A
Gift from the Survivors of Mauthausen. Susan Goldman Rubin is the author of more than 55 books for
young people, including The Cat with the Yellow Star: Coming of Age in Terezin, and Freedom Summer: the
1964 Struggle for Civil Rights in Mississippi. www.susangoldmanrubin.com
