Inhaltsangabe

The victorious spring of 1945 unexpectedly brought two vastly different groups together in the midst of battle. One group consisted of soldiers from the most powerful and affluent nation in the world. The other was Hitler's "undesirables," mostly impoverished people who'd been born and raised under persecution and oppression. On the surface, the two groups couldn't have been more different. In reality, they had a great deal in common. Both had been torn away from lives and dreams by powerful forces beyond their control. Both had suffered their own versions of hell, complex mixtures of horrors, lost lives, and noble acts of bravery and sacrifice. Quietly they’ve lived among us, rarely, if ever talking about the war. Sadly many have since passed taking with them their wisdom and their stories.The soldiers rarely talk about the war. Yet, as some people have begun to deny the horrors of the Holocaust, the liberators of St. Louis have come forward to set the record straight. This is their story.
