Liberators and Survivors: The First Moments

My great uncle was one of the liberators of Dachau and til the day he died he still called said that to call Nazis devils in human skin would be an offense to the devil.

My late dad was one of the British soldiers who went into liberate those in Belsen. He couldn't speak of the awful things he saw there.

By father was among those who liberated Buchenwald. I have a couple dozen photos he took. He told us that he took the pictures because he knew no one would believe what they found there. I need to find an organization that will preserve this precious evidence of what happened at Buchenwald.

My grandpa fought in the battle of the Rhine and he told me stories about liberating these camps, he would start crying half way through it. then my dad would come in the room and yell at me for asking him about the war, yea it really messed him up a lot, i was 10 years old and i'll never forget that.. R.I P. Grandpa.

I still cannot believe that human beings can hate till this extent. All countries need to learn from this tragedy.

My late grandparents survived the horrors of the holocaust but their families were not as lucky (if u wanna call them lucky). My grandparents went thru horror and mental and physical anguish not only during the war but before and especially after. Most forget that Jews after the war had no home, no money, no property, no family, no friends left usually and if they did they did not no where to find them, and basically no will to go on in such a terrible mental and physical state. It took years of homeless shelters and street walking and believe it or not, more antisemitism by people even after the war, until they finally made it to America and busted their asses to make a living and make sure they put all their children in good schools and had a nice home. All my uncles and mother all graduated college and got good jobs and had good lives thanks to the perseverance of my grandparents who even tho they passed on are still my hero's!! Please do not ever forget what happened and make sure to teach ur kids about this as their memories may never be forgotten and this type of major world wide atrocity should NEVER happen again to anyone!!

This is a story that needs to be told. I simply cannot believe the ignorance and stupidity of those who claim it was all a hoax.

My Dad was in the 101st 502 Airborne. God Bless you all.

Eisenhower's words were prophetic, considering the Holocaust deniers who inevitably step in and take advantage of others' suffering, like vultures on a wounded individual.

Pure evil. This is so heartbreaking. So much love for the people who have went through this. Angels.

I have watched this film. Could not believe seeing my Father. Who was liberated from Dachau Concentration Camp. He is no longer with us he died in 1968 aged 44yrs old. But he would having recurring nightmares. Which played on his mind. He had to put a lady in the furnace. Who was unconscious but still a life. He had four German solders with guns on him.

All the liberatiors, especially those who came forward to speak about what they went through, are so brave. You are my hero's

My great grandfather was with the US 2nd Infantry division when they liberated a number of sub-camps. Unfortunately I was far too young to hear his stories by the time he passed, but my grandpa tells me that he almost never talked about it and any time he tried, he couldn't really handle to recount the things he saw. He took the details of much of his experience in WW2 to the grave.

When I lived and worked in Germany at a military base in the early 80's, I met a lady with a tattoo on her arm. Me being the fool that I was asked her about it. She explained it to me and said that the people who lived around the camps said if they said anything they would be next to go to the camps. I still remember that day like it was yesterday. I also visited Dachau in the 90's when the Berlin wall came down, a depressing experience. You could still smell the burnt flesh, even after all of those years. It was so quiet. Not even one bird or living animal there. No noises whatsoever. I still cry when I think about those times.

I'm 39 years old now when I was growing up I heard my grandfather talking to one of the men he served with at the end of the conversation he said "We fight for those who can't and if we loose at least we tried" I never understood what he ment. Then in 97 I was deployed to Sierra Leone then I finally got it. SGT. First Class Fowler 75th Ranger Regiment 2nd battalion FORT BENNING GA. 97 TO 04

My mother and aunt we're interned by the Nazis for 2 years. I grew up hearing bits and pieces of what the went through. The murders on a daily basis. People scrambling for one piece of bread.starvation all around and the body parasites less alone the weather elements Death everywhere. I couldn't imagine loosing 9 brothers and sisters in three days by the Nazis. Out of 16 children only 6 were to survive the war. Grandpa was an old man. We are Belgium farmers and the Nazis pillaged all their live stock and food stuffs. He saw wwI and ww2 but lived to 100. Loosing his wife between wars to the birth of the 16th child. Unreal that this could of happened. Never again. Never again. My aunt and mom came out weighting about 60 pounds each. Both were in their early 20s. They were tortured and my aunt talked of rape. She told me my name meant death before dishonor and so I was raised to fight for what was right. To love all people and respect all unless I saw that disrespect the you fight against. My aunt even saw Hitler speak she told me. Some in the family we're in the Belgium resistance. I thank God for the blessings of today and the sacrifices of good humans of yesteryear Never forget Never forget Lol to all
