WWII Veteran Reunites With Man He Saved From Concentration Camp 71 Years Ago

A WWII veteran from Colorado has reunited with a man he freed from a concentration camp more than seven decades ago, and it’s the first time in 20 years that they’ve seen each other.

Sid Shafner, 94, had participated in the liberation of Dachau Concentration Camp in 1945. One of the prisoners there was Marcel Levy, now 90 years old.

“Sid tells the story that his convoy was stopped by a Jew named Marcel,” Peter Weintraub, president of Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), who sponsored the trip, told ABC News. “Marcel tells him in Yiddish that ‘You have to leave your route and divert to help us,’ which he did.”

Shafner and Levy became good friends, and this is the first time they’ve seen each other in 20 years.

I can't imagine coming across those sights.  American soldiers later recounted they could not stand the stench 2 miles away.
