The picture of the soldier standing in front of the bodies at Dachau (deemed Auschwitz in other places where the photo has been used) is not my father Alfred de Grazia. I have read the attribution, but my father employed secretaries when his wife didn't help him assemble and publish material, and this may be the reason for the oversight.

However, I did see a similar picture, taken at Buchenwald, and it was a picture of my father standing in front of a pile of starved corpses. I believe that the use of this picture in place of that picture, which may possibly be found in United States Government Archives, is not a harmless mistake, but may give weight to the arguments of Holocaust-deniers that the material given in proof of the Holocaust is faked, mistaken or false.

Please do not spread this picture anymore as being of Captain Alfred de Grazia, because that is erroneous, and the matter attested to is of the most serious nature, with criminal sanctions applicable to those proved to violated laws in some countries making Holocaust denial a criminal offense.

I Solemnly Swear that the Abovestated is True in Entirety and Omits Nothing of Importance to the Matter at Hand. - John Sebastian deGrazia, Son of Alfred de Grazia and Bertha Oppenheim, Princeton, New Jersey USA 8/8/2015 {{Jagtig (talk) 15:50, 8 August 2015 (UTC)}}
