This heartwarming video captures the miraculous reunion of 83-year-old Holocaust survivor Shalom Kurai with his second cousin, Ann Meddin Hellman, after living his entire life without knowing his real name, age, or family.
The emotional meeting at a South Carolina airport was made possible through the power of genetic science and DNA testing. Psychologist Daniel Horowitz, who has been studying orphan children from the Holocaust, facilitated this reunion by matching their DNA on MyHeritage.
The video highlights the profound impact of discovering long-lost family, as Shalom and Ann connected through letters and video calls, gradually building a new familial bond. Ann expressed her joy and sense of responsibility, feeling as though she had given Shalom a new life and a family he never knew existed.
