Jewish Cousins Separated 75 Years

Post by Thor »

How about a good thread and story for once?

Two cousins who lived in Romania and fled independently as the fascists rose in 1940. Each one believed the other to have been killed in a concentration camp. It was only when one of their daughters started looking up family that they found that the other was alive, one lived in Israel and the other in the UK.

They’ve both been reunited in Israel this week. What a lovely story that they both got to meet and see each other again after 75 years of not knowing they were both alive. Sometimes good things can happen and them coming together once more is a good thing.

Bitter sweet. The joy of the reunion tinged with the knowledge of those lost years. Pleased for them.

I think this has happened in Israel once before but not after 75 years & it was brothers or brother & sister.
