在大屠杀中幸存75年后，被认为已经死亡的表亲重聚

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.

也许我们大多数人在一生中都会经历一些苦难，但我们必须承认，很少有事情能比得上战争给完全无辜的人民带来的苦难。虽然在世界大战期间发生了许多可怕的事情，但第二次世界大战期间对犹太人的种族灭绝是人类历史上最令人痛心的悲剧之一。这可能很难相信，但它今天仍然影响人们，即使这么多年过去了。幸运的是，尽管过去很艰难，今天的故事至少对两个男人和他们的家人来说是一个幸福的结局。这对表兄弟在75年前的大屠杀中分离后终于见面了。

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·萨纳和西蒙·迈罗威茨小时候是最好的朋友，但在大屠杀中，他们的家人逃离罗马尼亚时，他们的关系断了

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年纳粹入侵罗马尼亚之前，他们是最好的朋友。战争使他们的家庭分离，因为他们没有一起逃离这个国家。他们俩从小就相信对方死于集中营。直到不久前，他们的孩子才在Facebook上与失散多年的亲人重新取得联系。

Only to be reunited in Israel after several decades of believing the other one was dead

几十年来，他们一直相信对方已经死亡，但最终在以色列团聚

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.

莫里斯的侄女在网上寻找亲戚时偶然发现西蒙的女儿，结果发现西蒙还活着，身体健康，住在英国。莫里斯居住在以色列的拉阿纳纳。虽然花了些时间，但他们在以色列特拉维夫为这两名长期没见过面的男子组织了一次温馨的团聚。其中一位亲戚录下了这段感人团聚的视频，让世界各地的人们以及莫里斯和西蒙自己都流下了眼泪。

It all happened thanks to Sana’s niece and Mairowitz’s daughter who reunited the relatives on Facebook

这一切都要感谢萨娜的侄女和迈罗维茨的女儿，她们在Facebook上促成亲人团聚

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.

尽管两人都已80多岁(萨娜87岁，迈罗维茨85岁)，但他们计划保持联系，尽可能多地见面，重建儿时美好的纽带。
