Emotional Reunion of Siblings Separated During the Holocaust

- Hilda Shlick (formerly Glasberg) thought she had lost practically all of her family in the Holocaust. By searching Yad Vashem's Central Database of Shoah Victims' Names, Hilda's grandchildren discovered that most of Hilda's family had in fact survived. As a result, an emotional meeting between Hilda and her brother Simon was able to take place at Yad Vashem. A family that had been separated for over 60 years was finally reunited.

i think the saddest thing is that her mom and dad lived for 50 years thinking their little daughter was dead and never got to find out otherwise.
As a grandson of Hilda I have to assure you, she was really emotional.. after suffering so many years of the sad memories and a fact of completely loneliness, it is very difficult to show your feelings. Thrilled?? :(
Hilda was keeping her emotions to herself. She must be a tower of strength.
As a young German, I think stories like this are very precious. It feels good to see that the sick system of our grandfathers did not prevail.
First of all, it is a shock for her, she just realised that she lived her whole life thinking her family was dead, while ALL of them were alive. They all were together, kind of a "happy family", while she was alone. ALONE. How do you think it influences the psychology of the person?
Second. She does not speak any English plus all those cameras and people around.
When they spoke alone, they spoke Yidish between themselves and had so much fun.
Sorry they did not have a Hollywood meeting for YOU.
I cant handle watching an old man cry, it's just heartbreaking..
dude...she's shocked. ever been so emotional inside yet you can't show emotion on the outside.
I don't think it's fair for people to criticize her because of her reaction.
If she is being the way she is is because she is a very strong woman that went through a lot, during and probably after the Holocaust too.
Life made her that way, also who knows what was going inside of her at the moment.
She did say though, at the beginning of the video that she was happy.
As a grandson of Hilda and a one that have been with her through all the story, would like to tell you some things:
First of all, HAHA? this is not funny AT all
the woman was sure for her entire life, that she lost everything and everyone. she was alone in this world. And suddenly this whole story is falling on her head..
It was very difficult for her..
Why would you pass judgment on someone who went through something so horrific and hadn't seen her family in many decades?
The feelings must have been too much to process. Imagine if it happened to you! She thought all her family were dead for 6 decades when she could have seen them...imagine she had the grief twice of losing her parents and siblings!!
shes not being cold for me but rather shock,..godbless you jews...my heart goes for you!
I know... but you also have to realize how PAINFUL it must be. She thought her family was dead... and they're not, so she missed out on an entire lifetime of being with them. It would be really hard to go through -- even though it's wonderful to meet them, now she has lost more than she thought she lost before.
thank god for the internet! i only wish they would have found each other sooner!
brakes my hart that she found out so late about her family and missed the chance of meeting her parents!!! thank god she got to meet her brother and hear her family survived !!! she looked utterly shocked! who wouldn't be?!!
My grandparents were survivors. They lost their siblings. I wish I could find out that they were wrong and someone survived.
If I’d been through what this lady went through her whole life I think I’d have emotions locked down deep too. How could you possibly survive emotionally otherwise??!
That is simply powerful, just imagine thinking your sister died and years and years later you find out she's alive. Must of been an extraordinary mix of emotions at that very moment. God bless their family
As an amateur Military Historian for over 35 years I seldom feel much emotion any more. It's a shame really, but studying war (and death) does desensitize you. This particular video really touched my heart and brought a tear to my eyes. Maybe because I have 2 sisters who I've never lived more than 30 miles away from. God Bless Israel and the works of YadVashem! Thank you.
This is indeed fantastic that the young guy helped his granny to meet her brother there s nothing as strong as a family bond. I got this but not with many! May God bless this family, Amen
This made me cry. Im so glad they found eachother
I feel so happy for her and her brother, hopefully loads of other families can also reunite ❤️
it's all the cameras and attention her family is receiving. Also all the years she thought her family was dead impacted her as now she has to grasp the whole commotion and reality around her. Once she and her brother are all alone I bet she was pouring out everything she felt and very emotional. This video is so touching and beautiful, may god bless them!
I cried watching the man's face.
You can tell that woman been through so much hell she so shy and standoffish still, she don’t what to believe. This hurts to watch.
We are crying....shalom,shalom,so glad for Yad Vashem....
At the end, in the last photo, she smiles.
This is so beautiful. And painful.
This made me cry, I love that they were reunited!!
this made me cry, truly beautiful. im glad they were able to be reunited
Wow even the people that weren’t murdered were emotionally murdered by not knowing where their family was and if they were dead or alive. So horrible…
Omg this made me cry, I am so glad they reunited after such a long time
I can hardly imagine the joy of this reunion. What a beautiful story.
This made me so happy. May God Bless Yad Vashem for making this possible
could u imagine being separated from all ties to your family for SIX DECADES??!! wow these people are strong. to know that there are people out there who have not seen a sibling for so long, makes me appreciate mine
Could everyone just chill for a second and enjoy this beautiful moment in these people's lives? Don't you imagine that their grandkids are watching this now and then? Surely there is another time and place for those discussions. We all know what happened and why. Those that don't or don't believe, have multitudes of other places to go find out.
This video was beautiful, thank you for posting it!
wow, absolutely amazing
Very touching
Can you imagine being seperated from your sibling for 60 YEARS????
thankfully they found each other
god bless them!!
Amazing to me the way she kept her emotions unreadable...reminds me of my grandma who no one knows her maiden name not even my dad...her son
I still dont know what happened to my family, they were in Poland & Lithuania. I tried looking up all names & found nothing. There is a huge hole in my heart for all of my brothers & sisters who died or survived in this genocidal nightmare. but I want to know what happened to my family & what was their life before the war?
i can't stop crying
i had to cry... 65 years lost...
So beautiful!!! I cried the moment they found each other!!! 65 years... As someone with German heritage, I apologize. From the bottom of my heart...I am so sorry. So many lives destroyed over stupidity...
This brought tears to my eyes. I am so grateful to God that he reunited them. God Bless.
All I can say is PRAISE GOD!!! Thank you God for this Blessing for this family.
Thank God they found each other!
Perhaps because she's seen too much.
Or perhaps because she wants that moment to be between her and her brother alone----with out the presence of cameras or those who could not comprehend that magnitude of such a moment---
You have to understand that when she sees her brother she also sees the faces of loved ones who are no more. She sees the world that was lost.
So perhaps what is perceived as a lack of emotion is her way of dignifying the powerful, complex emotions of her experience.
I'm really glad they reunited!Touched my heart
A beautiful family reunion
These stories make my heart bleed. I cry deep within and my heart breaks with such deep sadness for these beautiful human beings that have suffered the insufferable. I am very sorry for all that you have endured. I can never understand why or what you have suffered. Forgive me.
She is 75 and just descovered that not all of her family died at the war!!, as she thought for all of her life living all alone with no family.. So it is a very shocky situation for an old woman..
my heart cried from sheer joy of witnessing a miracle come out of such a horrible event god bless u and ur family
This makes me cry like a baby!
Hard to watch thru tears
a great story that made me cry.
I'm so happy for them, i think one cant imagine the feelings they had that moment.
Must be incredible
i cry when i saw this video for the first time this is an amazing loving story
i cant stop crying.
wow! what can i say. i can't imagine the joy they felt and the pain of so many missed years. it really made me sob.
It was beautiful and sad at the same time
There are tears in my eyes watching this...wow I'm so glad they found eachother after all those years
omg i so cried miracles to happen I'm so happy for him finding his sister
This made me cry, I havent cried in quite awhile, but this is beautiful.
@nbbyana1 I think it was probably shock. think of 65 years of believing your family to be dead. and living your life. it probably makes you a bit numb. especially if you endured hardships at the death camps. what a beautiful reunion though and I hope she is happy/that they all are, with their reunited family. what a blessing after so long
this is so touching.
Idk why everyone is going after the sister we have no idea what's going on in her head we have no clue what she has gone through what type of emotional trauma she might have gone through or what is happening with her now we should just be happy that she was reunited with some of her family
I started bawling and I'm not a person to cry usually
this is so beautiful, i just cried like a little baby
I-I-I'm not crying, you are...... I'll be ok...... fuck I just want to hug these two.
I love my family and this pours tears to my eyes beautiful to watch
Siete belissimi. Molto emozionante
some people freeze their feelings after living a horrible experience, so maybe that xplains the lack of emotion.
this made me ball! =/
its not exactly happy, but its not sad either.
its amazing how the internet made such an impact on her life...
the old man was so sweet! =] he hugged and kissed her so much, it made me happy!
the grandson rocks!
With God there is always HOPE
Oh man how touching. Thanks for posting this. Wonderful stuff.
Everybody, share this video with others so more people know and more people register. So powerful!
Aw, that's so touching. But the suprising part, 65 years. my god.
This made me cry and happy.
this made me cry =(
omg this is so touching i totally cried
Beautiful
Aww, this is so sweet.
It's an amazing story
Omg this made my heart so happy !! :')
her brother was crying lakes and she didn't shed a tear, but she looked speechless
I love that they found eachother all these years lter
Tears in my eyes when they met again..
So beautiful.
Yad Vashem rules!!!!!!!
Unbelievable and touching. Tears.... Wished all the survivor could find they loved one and the ashes, killing..would have been a bad dream. Unfortunately it is an historical reality and most who remained alive are living with their silent pain without their loved ones. :(
Works for me. Glad they were reunited.
how touching... :)
Amazing story!
Beautiful.
Heartfelt beyond words.
Gd bless them!
Wow VERY touching and moving
