在大屠殺中幸存75年后,被認(rèn)為已經(jīng)死亡的表親重聚
Probably most of us go through some hardships throughout our lifetimes but we have to admit that few things match the misery brought upon completely innocent people by war. And while many terrible things happened during the time of the World Wars, the genocide of Jews during World War II is one of the most heartwrenching tragedies in human history. It could be hard to believe but it’s still affecting people nowadays even though so many years have passed. Luckily, despite the hardships of the past, today’s story is kind of a happy ending at least for two men and their families. The two cousins finally got to meet after being separated 75 years ago during the holocaust.
也許我們大多數(shù)人在一生中都會經(jīng)歷一些苦難,但我們必須承認(rèn),很少有事情能比得上戰(zhàn)爭給完全無辜的人民帶來的苦難。雖然在世界大戰(zhàn)期間發(fā)生了許多可怕的事情,但第二次世界大戰(zhàn)期間對猶太人的種族滅絕是人類歷史上最令人痛心的悲劇之一。這可能很難相信,但它今天仍然影響人們,即使這么多年過去了。幸運的是,盡管過去很艱難,今天的故事至少對兩個男人和他們的家人來說是一個幸福的結(jié)局。這對表兄弟在75年前的大屠殺中分離后終于見面了。
Morris Sana and Simon Mairowitz were best friends as kids but got torn apart when their families fled from Romania during the holocaust
莫里斯·薩納和西蒙·邁羅威茨小時候是最好的朋友,但在大屠殺中,他們的家人逃離羅馬尼亞時,他們的關(guān)系斷了
The pair were the best of friends before the Nazis invaded their home country Romania in 1940. The war separated their families as they didn’t flee the country together. Both of them grew up believing the other died in some concentration camp. Until some time ago their children reconnected with their long lost relatives on Facebook.
1940年納粹入侵羅馬尼亞之前,他們是最好的朋友。戰(zhàn)爭使他們的家庭分離,因為他們沒有一起逃離這個國家。他們倆從小就相信對方死于集中營。直到不久前,他們的孩子才在Facebook上與失散多年的親人重新取得聯(lián)系。
Only to be reunited in Israel after several decades of believing the other one was dead
幾十年來,他們一直相信對方已經(jīng)死亡,但最終在以色列團聚
Morris’ niece came across Simon’s daughter while searching for relatives online and reached out only to find out that Simon is alive and well and lives in the United Kingdom. Morris resides in Ra’anana, Israel. It took some time but they organized a heartwarming reunion for the two long-estranged men in Tel Aviv, Israel. One of the relatives recorded a video of this emotional reunion, leaving people all over the world in tears as well as Morris and Simon themselves.
莫里斯的侄女在網(wǎng)上尋找親戚時偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)西蒙的女兒,結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)西蒙還活著,身體健康,住在英國。莫里斯居住在以色列的拉阿納納。雖然花了些時間,但他們在以色列特拉維夫為這兩名長期沒見過面的男子組織了一次溫馨的團聚。其中一位親戚錄下了這段感人團聚的視頻,讓世界各地的人們以及莫里斯和西蒙自己都流下了眼淚。
It all happened thanks to Sana’s niece and Mairowitz’s daughter who reunited the relatives on Facebook
這一切都要感謝薩娜的侄女和邁羅維茨的女兒,她們在Facebook上促成親人團聚
Despite the fact that both men are in their 80’s (Sana is 87 years old and Mairowitz is 85), they plan to keep the connection and see each other as often as they can, reconstructing the beautiful bond they had as children.
盡管兩人都已80多歲(薩娜87歲,邁羅維茨85歲),但他們計劃保持聯(lián)系,盡可能多地見面,重建兒時美好的紐帶。
