ADVANCE FOR STORY SLUGGED D-DAY FRENCH GI BY LORI HINNANT FOR RELEASE ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 2014. In this photo dated July 1944 and provided by Dargols' family shows Bernard Dargols posing next to a Willys MB U.S. Army Jeep in Normandy, France. When the young Frenchman left Paris at age 18, the plan was to go to New York for a year and learn the sewing machine trade. Six years later, Bernard Dargols found himself crossing the English Channel in a U.S. Army uniform, sloshing ashore at Omaha Beach to a homeland that had stripped his Jewish family of their rights and sent some to die in concentration camps. This French GI, now in his 90s, recounts to AP his remarkable story. (AP Photo/Courtesy of Bernard Dargols' family)

Congolese children are welcomed by their Italian adoptive relatives as they disembark after landing from Kinshasa, at Ciampino's military airport, on the outskirts of Rome, Wednesday, May 28, 2014. The children ran excitedly into their parents' arms after an overnight flight from Congo. Italy had worked since late last year to allow them to reach Italy. Congo had suspended all international adoptions citing fears some adopted children might later have been trafficked. None of the allegations involved adoptions by Italians. The parents were forced to leave Congo without their children after their visas expired. (AP Photo/Riccardo De Luca)
