On this day, 6 June 1944, Allied forces launched the largest seaborne invasion in history—D-Day, a decisive turning point in the Second World War. Today, 81 years on, we honour the extraordinary bravery of all who served, including the many Jewish servicemen and women who took part in the landings and the wider Normandy campaign. Their courage helped liberate Europe from tyranny and shaped the course of history. At AJEX, we Remember them with pride and gratitude—and ensure their stories live on. AJEX Veteran Mervyn Kersh, landed on Gold Beach on the Normandy coast on D-Day +4, after an advance party of 10 men sent for reconnaissance was torpedoed, with only one survivor. Mervyn returned last year to Normandy for the 80th anniversary. You can read and more and see photos of Mervyn here: https://www.britishnormandymemorial.org/news-story/14520/ (fb)
