Liberator seeks contact

By , JTNews Correspondent

On April 7, 1945, an American soldier of the 30th Infantry Division helped liberate a train of 2,500 Jewish prisoners en route from Bergen-Belsen near Magdeburg, Germany. The survivors, 700 of whom were children, are being encouraged to make contact with the soldiers who liberated them. So far, 220 survivors have been in touch with the liberators to thank them. If you or someone you know was on this train, please write to Frank Towers at towersfw@windstream.net.
