On #DDay70, grateful citizens remember heroes who liberated concentration camps

I am here thanks to #DDay70 – 10 months after #DDay , American troops released my grandfather from the Buchenwald concentration camp.

Grateful citizens around the world are marking the 70th anniversary of D-Day. Among those joining the children and grandchildren of those who fought are those whose parents, grandparents, and friends were liberated from Nazi concentration camps as a result of the successful invasion at Normandy.

Huge debt of gratitude to the men who landed in #Normandy. Their bravery led to liberation of my father from Nazi concentration camp.

My dad fought in WWII. His unit liberated a concentration camp. Hero, just like these troops.http://t.co/qRI6kKfo8U pic.twitter.com/OjZRJUSAmQ

Thanks & respect to the brave men of #DDay. Special thanks to the 3rd US-Army who later liberated my grandfather from concentration camp.

A teacher in high school had a tattoo on his arm from a Nazi concentration camp. D-Day led to the defeat of those that did that to him.
