According to Obama it was his grandfather who marched with Patton, not his uncle, and they liberated Ohrdruf Concentration Camp, (his unit did) and it was his grand uncle..and it was a work camp not a death camp......

Anyon who has a handy knowledge of ww2 knows that auschwitz is in Poland, and the red army liberated that camp.


Obama also spoke about his uncle, who was part of the American brigade that helped to liberate Auschwitz. He said the family legend is that, upon returning from war, his uncle spent six months in an attic. “Now obviously, something had really affected him deeply, but at that time there just weren’t the kinds of facilities to help somebody work through that kind of pain,” Obama said. “That’s why this idea of making sure that every single veteran, when they are discharged, are screened for post-traumatic stress disorder and given the mental health services that they need – that’s why it’s so important.”
