UTICA -- The Student Veterans Club is honored to present the 70th Anniversary of the End of World War II Remembrance Day event. For this historical event, veteran Alan Moskin, a World War II veteran, will address students, faculty, staff, and the local community to share his experiences as a combat soldier and as a “Concentration Camp” liberator.

On May 4, 1945, his Company participated in the liberation of the Gunskirchen Concentration Camp, a subcamp of Mauthausen. After the war ended, Moskin remained in Europe until June 1946 as a member of the U.S. Army of Occupation.
