Episode 395: The Andrew Parker Show, Special Edition, “Remembering Dachau - 80 Years Later”

This powerful special edition of The Andrew Parker Show honors the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Dachau concentration camp — the first and model camp of the Nazi regime. Andrew Parker shares the deeply personal story of his father, Sergeant Leonard S. Parker, who was among the first U.S. soldiers to come upon Dachau in April 1945 as part of the 45th Infantry Division.

In this moving episode, Andrew reflects on the horrors of the Holocaust, the enduring importance of remembrance, and the dangerous rise of ignorance and antisemitism in today's world. Featuring a heartfelt reading by Andrew's son, Sam Parker, of Leonard Parker’s original letter written just days after witnessing the atrocities of Dachau — a letter now preserved in the U.S. National Holocaust Museum and Yad Vashem.

Andrew also shares his upcoming visit to the 80th Commemoration Ceremony in Dachau with his son, reaffirming that while Hitler’s "Final Solution" failed, the need to educate future generations remains critical.

Topics include:

• The history and significance of Dachau
• A first-hand account from a liberator’s letter home
• The role of Holocaust education today
• The parallels between past and present threats
• Honoring U.S. Army soldiers who helped liberate the camps
