Eighty years after liberation, Jack Moran, a US soldier who helped free Buchenwald, reunited with Holocaust survivor Andrew Roth in Los Angeles. Their emotional meeting, documented by the USC Shoah Foundation, highlights the dwindling number of living Holocaust witnesses. Both men, nearing 100, shared their harrowing experiences – Moran's brutal combat and Roth's survival in Auschwitz and Buchenwald – emphasizing the urgency of preserving these testimonies before they are lost. The event underscores the importance of remembering the Holocaust to combat rising antisemitism and skepticism towards human rights.
