Reunion of Holocaust Survivors and their American Liberators

On September 26, 2009 in Hudson Falls, NY, Hudson Falls High School and the US Holocaust Memorial Museum co-sponsored a reunion between Holocaust survivors and the U.S. Army soldiers who liberated them from a train near Magdeburg, Germany, on April 13, 1945. This video captures moments from the reunion, which was made possible by the efforts of high school teacher and Museum Teacher Fellow Matthew Rozell.

Rozell's blog, "Teaching History Matters" (http://teachinghistorymatters.wordpre...) records his continuing work in locating soldiers and survivors from this event.
