Details	Some American veterans fought for their lives along the beaches of Normandy. Some were among the first to witness the horrors as they liberated emaciated prisoners from concentration camps. And some even helped Holocaust survivors as they began to reclaim their lives. Now, 80 years after the D-Day invasion, their stories live on. Join us in collaboration with Arlington National Cemetery for a special digital program honoring the resilience, commitment, and courage of American veterans. Learn how their sacrifices inspired some Holocaust survivors to serve their new country. Speakers Rebecca Erbelding, Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Allison S. Finkelstein, Senior Historian, Arlington National Cemetery Remarks by Albert Willner, son of Holocaust survivor and US Army veteran Eddie Willner Moderator Lindsay MacNeill, Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum This virtual program is free and open to the public.
