US Army medic Tony Acevedo was captured in January 1945 and taken to a German prisoner-of-war camp. There he and his comrades were beaten, tortured, and forced to do hard labor. Tony recorded every atrocity and death he witnessed in a secret diary to honor his fellow soldiers and keep their memory alive.
