“… You just can’t picture such sights without seeing them with your own eyes.”
That’s how Clarence Williams closed a letter he wrote the day he helped liberate Dachau. His words speak for generations of veterans. Now, Clarence’s letters are the inspiration for a powerful play that’s connecting veterans of all ages and their communities.
