This footage was taken with a 16mm camera using Kodachrome film.
It was a day that none of these people could ever forgot: They could finally go home.

I was about six weeks old on that day. My mother told me once that I had already been issued a ration card. It’s too bad she didn’t save it. The sad thing for me is that the world learned so little from that terrible war. We must never let down our guard.
This was about fifteen years before my time, but the color movie makes it seem so real to me. The great tragedy of mankind is that it forgets what it should remember, and remembers what it should forget.
