Gina Rappaport (later Leitersdorf) stands next to an American tank shortly after her liberation by American troops of the 743rd Tank Battalion and the 30th Infantry Division. She had been rescued from a Nazi transport near the German village of Farsleben. Fluent in several languages, she translated for the Americans and other survivors of the train.
