Is that so?
You don't think he was talking about a great-uncle, do you?
Boy, this tale just keeps evolving.
If you notice the article doesn't say anything about Obama saying his uncle helped liberate Auschwitz, just the reporter mentioning this is why he was in the attic. Also, This place has the video of it going down and says:

No mention of Auschwitz in this video. Obama didn't talk about his uncle at all. So where did the reporter come up with that entire passage?
Apparently he mentioned something on a side talk after the speech. His words were "one of the first U.S. troops into Auschwitz".. How does that imply that his uncle liberated Auschwitz? I think some reporter made a false association.. we should all take a deep breath and look at the exact words.
