George Savar : I was sleeping on the floor, I don't know for how many days and when it woke me, I got scared. I thought it was one of the camp soldiers. The SS all knew the war was ending and they tried to eliminate as many jews as they could. But there was something different about this man standing over me. I could see it in his eyes and his uniform. He was an american. So young. I could tell the sight of me was too much. I was, oh maybe 80 pounds but this man, he was careful not to look as horrified as I'm sure he was. He wanted me to walk out with him but my legs wouldn't move. I was too weak so he carried me out of the barracks and he gave me his jacket, something to eat. A Hershey bar. I took one bite and that was all my empty stomach could handle. But nothing has ever tasted better. His goodness put back a little of the faith I had lost. My grandchildren put back the rest.
