Holocaust survivor, 102, meets nephew after thinking all family died in war

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

Eliahu Pietruszka escaped from Poland at the beginning of the second world war thinking his entire family had perished. But two weeks ago he discovered that a younger brother had also survived and that his brother's son, 66-year-old Alexandre, was flying from Russia to see him.

Very touching words by the old man.

That's insane. He can die a much happier man I assume.

Would be a trip if the nephew died at age 67 and the uncle survived till age 104. It would prove the silent generation was tougher than the boomers.

Reminds me of The Dead Zone.

He would’ve been financially compensated for having those family members die during the war, nice little rort

I wonder how many holocaust survivors are still living. They all have to be near 100 by now.

Even the ones born in the 30s would be in their 90s

No problem my friend.

I'm guessing the cold war just afterwards probably made it impossible to try and track whether any relatives survived on both sides.
