Ex-US soldier, 96, reunites Holocaust prisoners he set free..

Frank Towers, even at 96, still recalls the stench of the prisoner train when its doors were opened nearly seven decades ago. “Not to be believed,” he said. 

It was April 13, 1945, when the U.S. Army’s 30th Infantry Division, to which Towers belonged, freed prisoners from the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany who had been packed onto a train 40 to 50 cars long bound for Theresienstadt. They had been on the train for six days before it was stopped at a railway siding near Farsleben over a bureaucratic dispute.
