You left is a Jew named Joshua Kaufman, 87. In 1945 he was one of the inmates in Nazi concentration camp at Dachau that, until then, had already consumed 35,000 lives. One day, the field was quiet, the guards did not come and suddenly, Kaufman and his friends heard voices. They ran and hid in the latrines, awaiting death. They were American voices.
Kaufman decided to leave and the first person I saw was the right man, Daniel Gillespie, now 89 years. Gillespie, who was machine gun operator at the 42nd American Division, was shocked with that walking corpse, unclean, bones in sight, it was going in his direction. They embraced and wept.
After the liberation of Dachau and the end of the war, both separated. Kaufman went to Israel, where he was a soldier and then emigrated to the US. The two never met again, despite living unknowingly just an hour of each other.
As part of a documentary, the two were reunited.
Seeing his savior, Kaufman said "I love you too," saluted, kissed his hands and, despite his advanced age, bent down and kissed his feet.
