Jewish Liberation
Newly freed Jews celebrating freedom
(jewishvirtualliberary.org) The Jews had a traumatic experience after being released. They were either sent to live with relatives that had survived, or were put in “Displaced People Camps." Some of the Jews had to live with Germans (who could have been the ones who killed their families). Jews had to find work and restart their lives with the horrible memories of the Holocaust.

On June 6, 1944, the American, British, and Canadian armies invaded the beaches of France. This day is now known as D-Day. The armies started to march through France and towards Germany, liberating Jews in the process. The soldiers who set the Jews free were devastated by what they saw in the camps. The liberation of the Jews was the first step on the path for the Jews to regain their rights, and for the Nazis to be held responsible for their crimes.
“It’s here, where absolute evil was perpetrated, that the will must resurface for a fraternal world, a world based on respect of man and his dignity.”
–Simone Veil News paper with a headline of D-day
