Kaufman was the first person Gillespie saw, hiding in the latrines with other prisoners. Gillespie helped free Kaufman and they both parted with tears in their eyes - both believed they would never see one another again.

The two reunited in Hungtington Beach, California.
"I have wanted to do this for 70 years. I love you, I love you so much," Kaufman said to his rescuer.
