She was a young Army nurse who never dreamed that one day she'd walk through the gates of hell.
They opened for her in early May of 1945. The place was Dachau, one of Nazi Germany's most notorious death camps.
Lt. Nettie Hardy Eskridge was surrounded by thousands of dead and dying men, many stacked on top of each other like cord wood.
The horrifying scenes unfolding in front of her never dimmed and would remain with her throughout the 65 years she had left to live.
When Nettie died this month at the age of 89, the minister who presided at her funeral lauded her military service as well as her anger over those who claimed the Holocaust never happened.
