A moving reunion between two men who changed each other’s lives took place this week.

In 1945 American soldier Sid Shafner helped rescue and liberate approximately 30,000 prisoners from a Nazi concentration camp. Last week he was reunited with Marcel Levy, one of the survivors he helped.

It was an emotional reunion, as Levy, 90, thanked Shafner for saving his life, saying “everything I have today, I have because of you.”
