Town of Greenburgh Veterans Interviews

The following collection are living history interviews with over 150 Greenburgh veterans of World War II and the Korean conflict and War. The interviews were produced by former Greenburgh resident Alan Hochberg and former resident and Vietnam veteran Steve Wittenberg.

In recent years, Hugh McAuley and the Greenburgh Veterans Advisory Committee conducted additional interviews. 

Sadly, many of the veterans who were interviewed have passed away. These interviews will enable future generations to never forget the role local residents had in preserving our democracy.
