Summary

Both harrowing and redeeming, this is the history of a unique 'adoption' system. For generations, local families, grateful for the sacrifice of their liberators from Nazi occupation, have cared for the graves of over ten thousand US soldiers in the cemetery of Margraten in the Netherlands, keeping their memory alive for their far-away next of kin.
