Holocaust Survivors, Liberators Reunite 80 Years After WWII

News summary

Eighty-five years after the Kindertransport rescue missions that saved thousands of Jewish children from Nazi persecution, researchers continue to uncover new details about these journeys and the survivors' lives, many of whom later settled in the United States. Holocaust survivor Andrew Roth, who endured ghettos and concentration camps including Auschwitz and Buchenwald, recently reunited with Jack Moran, the U.S. Army soldier who helped liberate Buchenwald, in an emotional meeting facilitated by the USC Shoah Foundation. Both men, now approaching 100 years old, shared their wartime experiences, highlighting the poignant human connections formed amidst the horrors of the Holocaust and World War II. Moran recounted his harrowing combat experiences, including the loss of close friends and survival during the Battle of the Bulge, while Roth expressed profound gratitude to Moran for saving his life. The USC Shoah Foundation emphasizes the urgency of preserving survivor testimonies as the number of firsthand witnesses dwindles, with over 220,000 survivors worldwide as of 2025. Meanwhile, programs such as the Polish American Program continue to share survivor stories, like that of Bronisław Durewicz, to educate and commemorate these histories.
