70 years later, Holocaust survivor meets her liberator

It’s been almost 70 years, but Marsha Kreuzman still remembers the moment she laid outside the steps of a Nazi crematorium wishing she could die.

This is incredible. Simply amazing, that these two could be reunited after so long.

My family lived in Germany during the war, and were considered a mixed-race family -- Great-Grandfather was German, Great-Grandmother was Guanche. You can imagine how well this went over. Grandma and her ended up shipped out to a forced labor camp of some time, and what little we know is that some very brave folks hid them and smuggled them into Czechoslovakia.

I'll always wonder who those men were. What were their stories, and why did they risk so much to save them? There's no way to know what might have happened, if they hadn't saved them. My grandmother doesn't like to talk about those years, so we only know a tiny bit about what she experienced during the war.

Heartwrenching story.

That they could reconnect after *so many* years, when there are so few survivors of that time left at all.... That's just amazing and wonderful. So glad she found one of her liberators.
