With reverence. we recall the soldiers of all races. colors and creeds. young men and women. who sacrificed their lives to defeat Nazism. We will never forget how those brave soldiers who came ashore on June 6. 1944 became our liberators. For millions of Jews. however. the landing at Normandy was the beginning of a desperate race against time. Roundups and deportations increased. transports roared towards the death camps. gas chambers and crematoria worked around the clock. Sadly. the allied armies arrived too late to save most of our familiesmillions of innocent men. women and over a million children who perished. Yet word of the invasion gave us courage to live another day.
