Clemson remembers graduate from WW2 era

An effort by the city of Greer is taking part in a butterfly project to create and display 1.5 million butterflies worldwide representing one for each child who died in the Holocaust.  At last report, Greer has collected 550 colorful tributes.  The city is also recognizing Greer native Horace Berry, whose family operated Berry Mills.  After Horace Berry graduated from Clemson in 1941, he was commissioned into the army and sent directly to active duty.  On May 4, 1945, three days after Germany surrendered, Berry and his unit inspected a concentration camp in Austria where they found camp sick and starving prisoners.  According to his alma mater, had not the soldiers reached the camp when they did, there’s no telling how high the fatalities would have reached.
