New collection added to Holocaust Archives Project

"Mementoes of Days of Service" details Lawrence Layden's service in World War II from his induction in June 1941 until his formal discharge in December 1945.  Through photographs and text, Layden's scrapbook follows him from his initial assignment in Louisville, KY to bases in England and continental Europe.  The album contains reconaissance photos used in the assault on Europe and several photos of Buchenwald concentration camp, visited by Layden six days after its liberation.
