Sgt. Milton Ramoy filmed the liberation of Germany with his 8mm camera. He donated a copy of the original film as well as a videotape providing additional context to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in August 1991. The videotape is available in the Film and Video Archive's wild collection. Mr. Ramoy also donated photographs of his travels through postwar Europe, including the liberation of Buchenwald for which he did not have any moving image film, to the Museum's Photo Archive.
