Holocaust Survivors Reunited After 65 Years

26 Sep 2006

Simon Glasberg and Hilda Glasberg were separated since Simon was 16 and Hilda 6. Now 81, Simon broke down in emotion as he recognized his little sister. In 1941, the family was separated. Hilda moved to Russia, then Israel, assuming the others were dead. Simon, who emigrated to Canada with another brother, believed the same.

For more details on this reunion, including audio clips of Simon and Hilda, please visit NPR.org.
