Aug. 5, 1944, was a day of joy and apprehension for 982 passengers on a
train pulling into Oswego, a small city in upstate New York on the shores of
Lake Ontario northwest of Syracuse. The refugees were fleeing from 18 countries
Hitler had overrun. Many had escaped from camps like Dachau - the one shown
here. They were among the millions of people hunted down for extermination
because they were Jewish, Communists, or opponents of the Nazi regime.
