Photographer recounts documenting World War II

KINGSTON – It’s been almost 70 years since Frank Paciga captured the horrors of World War II through his camera lens, and he still rarely talks about what he saw.

For a while, he held on to the pictures he took of three concentration camps, but looking at them brought on a flood of nightmares. So his wife, Lorraine, burned them.

“I did three concentration camps that I don’t like to describe,” he said. “They were very, very bad. I almost went out of my mind.”
