Holocaust survivors reunited in Israel after 75 years
Two Holocaust survivors who were separated as children reunited in Israel after 75 years.
Morris Sana, 87, and his cousin and friend Simon Mairowitz, 85, were convinced that the other had been killed by the Nazis, according to People magazine.
They reconnected after their descendants found each other on Facebook. The men had escaped Romania separately following the German invasion in 1940.
Sana lives in Israel, in Raanana, and Mairowitz ended up in the United Kingdom.
