Acevedo was a World War II medic and one of 350 US soldiers held in a Nazi slave labor camp. After the war, Acevedo, then 20, returned home and worked as a surgical technician in an ear, nose and throat clinic in Pasadena. "You're a coward for allowing yourself to be captured," his father told him. The soldiers, Acevedo said, were given 100 grams of bread per week made of redwood sawdust, ground glass and barley. Acevedo told his son to include the rape in his obituary so the world can understand: "This is how low man can get."
