Who is Kurt Klein as noted in the memoir, All But My Life?

Kurt Klein is the young Jewish American soldier who is part of the unit that liberates Gerda and those remaining girls in Volary, Czechoslovakia. Kurt and Gerda's story is truly one of love at first sight. He couldn't stay away from Gerda. The feelings were much more than superficial since Gerda could not have at first sight been a beauty. The very first time he sees his future wife, she is dirty, timid, and weighing all of sixty-seven pounds! They eventually marry and move to America.
