Dixie Dry Goods	Henry Carter
From a Facebook post by Belinda Kelly	From a Facebook post by Pat Hahn
Henry Carter (April 12, 1908 - May 6, 2005) ran Dixie Dry Goods. He still had the tatoo on his arm from his days as a prisoner at Auschwitz-Birkenau (Wikipedia). He recorded a four-part oral history, which you can watch at this site. Recommended.
