The Allied armies.
In the context of the Holocaust; Liberators were those (generally members of one army or another) who took camps from Nazi control and freed the inmates.
In these situations there was generally no fighting involved and sometimes the process of taking over a camp could take a few days: It was noticed that if the inmates of a camp were just set free, they were a risk to themselves. Having been starved for years, their bodies could not cope with proper food yet and people would die, so they still needed to be held captive as they recovered. Sometimes there was a hand-over, others; the Germans had just left the camps unattended.
In one rare occasion, in one of the most famous camps, Dachau, the American liberators murdered some of the German guards who had surrendered.
