Siblings Separated By Nazis To Reconnect

By Associated Press | May 16, 2008

PHILADELPHIA — A Philadelphia woman separated from her family by the Nazis is preparing for a reunion with a brother she hasn't seen in 66 years.

Irene Famulak was 17 and when the Nazis invaded the Ukrainian Catholic family's home in 1942. Ms. Famulak was sent to be a cook in Germany and never saw another family member again. But that's about to change.

The Red Cross says the 83-year-old's youngest brother, Sevelud, has turned up in Germany trying to trace his sister.

Ms. Famulak's daughter says the family will now plan a reunion.
