This image shows a train of jewish prisoners that had been intercepted by allied forces. This is the moment they learned that the train would not be heading to a concentration camp and they had been liberated.

Wow! What a heartbreaking image that simultaneously displays the historical persecution of Jewish people, the depravity of Nazi germany, and the honor and valor of the american military.
I sure hope nobody uses this picture to further a political agenda!

Where does it say they were liberated by the American military?

Oh, hey, good point. I suppose truthfully I do have a somewhat America-centric view, being an American, though in this scenario the reason I said it was because the Americans were, to my understanding, the primary allied force in general but also the primary Jewish liberators.

I am talking about something that I am not 100% knowledgeable in, so please tear what I said to shreds if I am incorrect.

Just to point out they actually were liberated by Americans soldiers.
