What a glorious article, I literally got weepy when I read it.
"Holocaust survivor Joshua Kaufman
saluted World War II soldier Daniel Gillespie, who liberated him from a
Nazi concentration camp seven decades ago. Joshua Kaufman was enduring
the unthinkable at the hands of the Nazi guards at the Dachau death camp
before the American soldiers found the facility and rescued the
captives. A German documentary crew found the two men and planned the
reunion."
"Joshua Kaufman said that everything he has in life is because of Daniel Gillespie. When the Holocaust survivor and the American WWII soldier met on Huntington Beach in California, it was an extremely emotional reunion. The two men, who unknowingly lived just one hour from one another, immediately saluted when they finally met again."

“I love you so much,” Joshua Kaufman,
87, told Daniel Gillespie. Then the Holocaust survivor kissed the hand
of the World War II veteran and said, “I have wanted to do this for 70
years. I came out of h**l into the light. For that, and to him, I am
eternally grateful.”
"Kaufman said he was nothing more than a “walking corpse” when the American soldier, now 89, marched into the Dachau concentration camp near Munich."
