Holocaust survivor George Lucius Salton, author of "The 23rd Psalm: A Holocaust Memoir," will share his story Aug. 19 during the 58th annual convention of the 82nd Airborne Division Association in Reno, Nev.

Salton will address the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, which liberated him from the Wobbelin concentration camp in Germany in May 1945.

"I will be able to say to them, 'You ended the long night of the Holocaust for me,' " Salton said.
