Patton Jr., right, presenting Huntington trustee Robert Millikan with an original 1935 typescript of the Nuremberg Laws signed by Adolf Hitler, on June 11, 1945. During the final days of World War II, as American soldiers were returning home from Germany with helmets, swastika-inscribed flags and other Nazi memorabilia, Gen. George Patton was packing up his own sourvenirs, including four pages of these documents signed by Adolf Hitler that set up the legal framework for the Nazis to kill six million Jews.
