    From D-Day to Liberation

    June 6, 2024, will mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings along the Normandy coast during World War II.

    Some American veterans fought for their lives along the beaches of Normandy. Other veterans were among the first to witness the horrors as they liberated emaciated prisoners from concentration camps. Veterans even helped Holocaust survivors as they began to reclaim their lives. Now, 80 years after the D-Day invasion, their stories live on.

    The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, in collaboration with Arlington National Cemetery, will present a special digital program honoring the resilience, commitment, and courage of American veterans. The sacrifices of such veterans inspired some Holocaust survivors to serve their new country.

    The virtual event takes place on Wednesday, June 5, 7:00 pm ET, Registration is available here. 

    For additional D-Day materials, please see this excellent post by  Susan Allen   on the 75th Anniversary of D-Day with valuable comments by  Mary Alice Anderson .   Cheryl Davis  also shared a link to the D-Day Journeys Story Map, another engaging resource.

    Thank you for your interest and support.
