Hilbert Margol, who turned 100 in February, and his identical twin brother Howard, now deceased, were part of an artillery convoy in the 42nd infantry Division storming toward Munich. The 42nd Infantry is among those credited with liberating the Nazi concentration camp at Dachau. The Margol brothers were among the first Americans to discover the lingering horrors at the camp, which was established in 1933 and became a symbol of Nazi atrocities. More than 200,000 people from across Europe were held there and over 40,000 prisoners died there in horrendous conditions.
