Kin reunited 65 years after Holocaust By ARON HELLER, Associated Press Writer
Mon Sep 18, 5:46 PM ET
Hilda Shlick thought she lost nearly all her family in the Holocaust — until her Internet-savvy grandsons located her 81-year-old brother in Canada.
"After 65 years, I have found the sister who I love," Simon Glasberg said Monday in heavily accented English, his eyes filling with tears. "I can't stop kissing her."
Using the database of Holocaust victims at Yad Vashem, Israel's Holocaust memorial, two of Shlick's grandchildren, Benny and David, began unearthing a mystery spanning six decades and three continents.
While improved technology in recent years has made the task of tracking Holocaust survivors easier, fewer and fewer survivors remain as each year passes.
Scanning the database, the grandsons, both in their 20s, discovered an entry erroneously stating their grandmother had perished half a century earlier. That entry led them to other surviving relatives, who eventually brought about the siblings' emotional reunion Friday.
When Glasberg, who lives near Ottawa, Canada, saw his gray-haired little sister for the first time, he recognized her immediately, he said.
"I felt I couldn't talk. I just cried," he said. "You don't understand, 65 years ..." His voice trailed off.
Shlick, 75, said she too was overwhelmed by the discovery.
"For 65 years, I lived thinking I had no family besides one sister," she said.
Since Friday's reunion, the family bond has clearly been re-established, with the two elderly siblings playfully joking and reminiscing in a hearty mixture of Russian and Yiddish. Their large families have quickly become close.
The last time the two saw each other was in 1941, when the Glasberg family of Chernowitz, Romania, was separated after the Nazis invaded.
Hilda, then 10, escaped to Uzbekistan with her older sister Bertha. The rest of the family — parents Henia and Benzion, and brothers Simon, Mark, Karol and Eddie — stayed in Romania, finding refuge in a basement. The fate of one sister, Pepi, remains unknown. She disappeared and is presumed to have been killed by the Nazis.
Glasberg, his brothers and parents emigrated to Canada after the war ended. Shlick and her sister moved to Estonia, where Bertha died in 1970.
In 1998, Shlick immigrated to Israel. During a family conversation this summer, her grandsons learned her maiden name was Glasberg, and they began to investigate her past.
They logged onto the Yad Vashem Web site and found a page of testimony submitted in 1999 by her brother Karol, of Montreal, who wrote about his sister Hilda, who "perished in the Shoah."
Karol died that same year, but further searches through the Web site of the Montreal Burial Society and online forums of survivors of Chernowitz, Shlick's grandsons were able to track down his son, who filled in the picture of what happened to the divided family.
Shlick's parents died in the 1980s in Montreal, living well into their 90s, as did her brother Eddie, who died in 2004.
Mark Glasberg lives in Ottawa, but was too ill to travel to Israel to meet his sister. His son Irving, however, lives in Israel, just half an hour away from his missing relatives.
The new extended family will share the Jewish New Year together this weekend, catching up on a half-century of history.
Shlick said she plans to travel to Canada soon to see her other relatives and visit the graves of the parents she lost as a child.
Yad Vashem director Avner Shalev said the story should encourage Jews from around the world to check the database for their relatives' names and to submit pages of testimony for those who have been lost.
The database contains some 3 million names of Holocaust victims and has been visited by 10 million people since it went online in 2004.
Yad Vashem spokeswoman Estee Yaari said this was only the second known case of living siblings discovering each other through the database. Last June, two sisters who had survived the Holocaust and moved separately to Israel were reunited after 61 years.
Glasberg, though thrilled to find his sister, said the reunion was bittersweet because of all the years the family was divided.
"My poor parents, they always said, 'We wish we would find all our kids'" he said. "It is such a tragedy, but now I am so happy."

Brilliant title.
In a bizarre story Mr. Dees recalled in his autobiography, Mr. Dees asked Miller for a lift from the Federal Courthouse in Raleigh- where he was suing Miller- to the Raleigh airport.
"He said he'd be happy to make the half-hour trip," Mr. Dees wrote.
Oh, I gave him (Morris Dees) a ride to the airport, alright.

You're guilty of a hatecrime Theseus. The State Department has alerted all european airports to arrest you if you ever show up in Europe. How dare you suggest that only 5,999,999 jews died in the gas chambers.

Tattooed number's on jew arm's that are claimed to have been forcefully put on them from the 1939-45 era, is there ONE photo or document that the White European people's or German's did this? Is there a photo that is not forged that prove that one? Like the Lamp Shades and Bar soap lie, which stated that those items were made from dead jew's, and which is yelled out by Mikey Winnie Savage on AM radio almost every day, or at least when I only him once a week for a few minutes. Interesting that this stuff was not heard of in the 1950's.
Our White family member's that were murdered for the F.D.R. instigated and started so called WW 2 won't ever be re-united today, and that does not count the 54,000 murdered Whites in 22 months of hot Korean fighting 1950-52 and tens of thousand's of AU., N.Z., Canadian, and English killed too, because F.D.R. and his Cabal supported Uncle Joe-Stalin. F.D.R. constantly referred to Stalin as Uncle Joe. Yes, no good deeds go on unpunished.
Isn't it strange that we talk least about the things we think about most?
We cannot allow the natural passions and prejudices of other peoples
to lead our country to destruction.

These jews are tough. Survivors triumphant over the mindless hate of the shtupid goyim. Got out of the ovens just in the nick of time. Like a mouse eluding the paw of the Hitler cat.
Fewer and fewer survivors eh?
Tens of millions died in that war and we'll never hear the end of the travails of the people who started the whole thing in the first place. My brain is wracking with the irony of it all.
By the way jews, it's called life, and no one here gets out alive. Get over yourselves. You ain't special and you ain't better than anyone no matter what your "ho-lie" book tells you.
My grandmother is tougher than all the jews in the world combined and she survived open heart surgery and hip surgery while well into her 80's. And she never had the chutzpah to dream up some fantasy about Nazi ovens and things she saw that never existed to be seen. Pussies! My Granny is a survivor, you jews are just a bunch of whiners and liars.

Survivors, my ass. What super human acts did the JEW do to Survive;
Hide in some attic for years...
Their not Survivors, their just material that was never processed before
the end of the war.

All kidding aside, this is a very important story for more then one reason.
Fine we all know that not even close to 6 million Jews died of Typhus, or from Gas Chambers not yet created.
There have been stories of Jews in their twilight yrs 'coming clean' and stating they were never a prisioner.
But this story is differant. Here you have a documented Holocaust victim, who clearly survived. This according to math, was one of the 6million. Hence, if this person never died, then every history book, every monument, everytime the 6 million term is used.. its a lie.
If someone really knew the legal system, they could challenge the 6 million number ( not the actual event, just the number ) and have it changed to offically be 'Approximately'.
Because really, even the most ignorant of jews and judges can't dispute this fact.

They never recovered 6,000,000 bodies of jews either. No digging up of mass graves, no documentation, no anything. They may as well claim 12,000,000 becuase without proof the numbers are arbitrary.

Now Montel is getting in on the act? Man, that's some chops. That guy has got serious credentials. No moles, a shaven head, no facial scars, a moustache! He's a walking, talking case of celebrity skin gone wild!
When you want the straight dope, you go to the Montel Williams show. A nigger presents two kikes reunited when one thought the other cooked in Hilter's ovens!
Does it get any better than that?

That's just the problem . . . the 6M is an article of faith--an expression of fealty to the current system. Anyone who looks into it knows it's bunk, to varying degrees. I mean, isn't 6M based on Auchwitz killing 4M? Why didn't the 6M number change after the Auchwitz number changed to "about 1.5 M"?
You know, I never had any reason to doubt the holocaust tale. What the Germans are accused of seems to be an appropriate response in many ways to what jews had been doing in Germany. I was, therefore, at a position where I neither doubted the jews nor blamed Germany. Now, I know that the jews are just full of shite, and have libeled the Germans all these years!
Also, it frightens me to recall that jews always blame others for what they do, and it makes me wonder what they have in mind for this little new world order they're trying to enforce.
