Liberation concert

American Military Cemetery in Margraten

A particularly beautiful, impressive evening.
Excerpt from the foreword to the Liberation concert foundation program sheet.

Liberation concert for 80 years of freedom that we live in and are still grateful for.
They came 80 years ago from the United States of America with a purpose here, to liberate Europe, to restore our freedom to determine our own future, to free us from a Nazi ideology that led to dehumanization and the murder of millions. They came with many and succeeded in their mission. They made great sacrifices to do so, unfortunately very many of them also made the greatest sacrifice: their lives.
