4 A Few Historical Facts In Commemoration of D-Day, June 6, 1944 ~By Alice Schoenfeld The allied forces landed in Normandy on Omaha Beach on June 6, The Normandy landing was a determining factor for ending the second world war. Many American soldiers and others died at the time of the landing. The main goal was to end the war and defeat the Germans. The Germans marched in to Hungary on March 19, Between Pesach and Shavuot, June 1944 the Nazis managed to deport and exterminate five hundred thousand Hungarian Jews. There was no one to stop the deportations. But we won!!! The 6 Day War ended on June 6, We reunified Jerusalem the eternal capital of Israel. Our Medinat Yisrael will live forever and ever.
