        My mother, who is 91 and still alive said my father had very bad nightmares for many years immediately after the war. Brave and tough men.

        My mother, now 90 years old, told me Belsen used to be a taboo subject for Dad, but later, he began taking about it, giving lectures, even appearing in two holocaust documentaries @NWFFilm and @noasylumfilm

        I served in Viet Nam, but I cannot fathom the courage to charge those beaches in Normandy.

        My grandfather landed “in the first wave”, and went on to win 2 Silver Stars, a Bronze Star, and 3 Purple Hearts. As a surgeon, he helped liberate Dachau and Bergen-Belsen. He has inspired me my entire life. We all owe so much to those brave men.pic.twitter.com/9Bpqzs1P0d

        Capa’s photo editor for those shots, John Morris, just died a few months ago. A wonderful man. And in his own right a fine photographer whose talent was not recognized until he was almost a century old.

        We must never forget, and forever be grateful. Too many will allow these events to fade, particularly as our veterans fade. God Bless those who selflessly gave their lives so that others may live in freedom and peace.

        What my country did 2 save my mother out of the hell of Nazi Germany means everything. Literally. The fresh scrubbed GI's who were given a meal & shared coffee as my mom's town was liberated. North & East Germans were shot, women raped, and murdered by Russian soldiers same time.

        Agreed. Difficult to comprehend how they did it, with the first several waves knowing death was highly likely.
