Re: US POWs In Concentration Camps

Date: March 20, 2001

One of the best kept secrets of World War II was the fact that US POWs were sent to concentration camps, not just POW camps. After liberation, the US treated them like pariahs, all to frequently claiming they were psychiatric cases and not ex-POWs.

Thankfully, the ICRC had registered a number of the liberations, yet that was not enough to bolster then men's claims and recollections. Quietly, slowly, the story is coming out. Today we find this obituary -

"Otis Brush 'ROBINSON - Otis W. 'Bushî Brush, 81, died of cancer Thursday, March 15, 2001, at the home of his daughter, Sherry Wells, in Robinson.

He retired from custodial maintenance for Indianapolis public schools.

He was a World War II Army veteran serving in Europe. He was in Buchenwald prisoner of war camp.

Arrangements are pending at Pulliam Funeral Home Robinson Chapel. "
