Two cousins who were separated 75 years ago by World War II reunited in Israel on Saturday.
Morris Sana, 87, and his cousin Simon Mairowitz, 85, grew up believing that the other died in a concentration camp in Europe during World War II, according to People magazine. The cousins were close friends before the Nazis invaded Romania in 1940, which forced both of their families to flee the country separately.
Sana’s niece and daughter connected with relatives several decades later on Facebook, and organized for Sana and Mairowitz to see each other again in Tel Aviv.
A video of their emotional reunion shows the two men hug and shed tears together.
