On August 25, 1944, Paris was freed from Nazi occupation—an unforgettable moment of courage, sacrifice, and hope. This archival footage, narrated by Ossie Davis, brings to life the spirit of liberation and the resilience of those who fought to reclaim freedom. As we remember the Liberation of Paris, we honor all who served in World War II and the enduring legacy they left for future generations. #MemDayPBS #MemorialDay #LiberationOfParis | National Memorial Day Concert (PBS)
