Nearly 80 years after the Holocaust, David Rossler, now 83, visited the home in Brussels where he hid for his life along with his mother and hadn t been back to since.
A Jewish man who was saved by a Belgian family as a child during the Holocaust was reunited with descendants of his rescuers for the first time, nearly 80 years later.
After years of searching, a social media post and the help of a MyHeritage genealogist in Belgium helped facilitate a special reunion between an 83-year-old Holocaust survivor and the family of the man who saved him and his mother in Auderghem, Belgium.
