Recently we ended a successful inheritance case in New York for two first cousins of a holocaust survivor. We were very happy to be a part of the successful outcome due to our research of the family proving the legal right to their inheritance, but more than that it was a wonderful love story of survival and family strength even in the midst of some of the most horrific conditions and treatment of members of God's children.
I wish you could have been there to hear the testimony of a 90 year old survivor of the holocaust give her testimony via video conferencing from Sweden. Like a beautiful flower in the midst of a mountain of sadness she was able to survive and tell a beautiful love story of her beloved and how they fell in love, got married in the ghetto of Piotrkow Poland a month before the "Action" and then were seperated and finally reunited in Sweden after the war was over. She had been told he was killed and then it wasn't until six months after the war she recieved a phone call, while she was still recovering in the hospital in Sweden, from her husband to let her know he was still alive. It took another six months before they were able to get back together.
It was a heartwarming story.
The other first cousins survived by escaping to Russia, but had to work in a work camp in Siberia in order to survive, but survive they did and their story is a beautiful tale of father and brothers working together to help each other overcome the difficulties of the war and then to reunite with the surviving members of their families after the war. Many of their family were not so fortunate, but those that were came to America to build a better life together in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
