Holocaust Survivor Finally Meets His Nephew He Didn't Know He Had

The Holocaust and World War Two brought very dark times for families. People were split up from their loved ones, leaving those who survived all alone. Some survivors had no clue if they will see their loved ones again. But many survivors still live with the hope of connecting with those who are related to them. It is rare for such a thing to happen, but holocaust survivor, Eilahu Pietruszka is amongst the fortunate few.

But later found out that his brother survived and had a son who lived in Russia.
