Holocaust survivor, 102, meets nephew after thinking all family died in war
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 พ.ย. 2017
- Eliahu Pietruszka escaped from Poland at the beginning of the second world war thinking his entire family had perished. But two weeks ago he discovered that a younger brother had also survived and that his brother's son, 66-year-old Alexandre, was flying from Russia to see him.

The reunion was made possible by a comprehensive online database of victims created by Yad Vashem, Israel's official memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. Given the dwindling number of survivors and their advanced ages, the event seemed likely to be among the last of its kind

When he said “You are a copy of your father”, I couldn’t help but smile.
@xxgirliesangelsxx ?
xxgirliesangelsxx what?????
His brother, imagine learning that probably one of the people you loved the most had survived and even had continued your lineage
Me too! The nephew's pride was in his ear to ear grin!

“You have a big family, you won’t be alone”
You can tell this man was lonely for so many years...
Exactly
I think he was worried also about being the last family member and he was really happy to see his family legacy move on
I was your 1000th like. Cool.
that gave me chills 😞😞
Scrolled down looking for a comment along these lines. You can tell he's projecting his own fears through that message to his nephew. It seems like he was lonely for a long time and that scared him deeply, so he's very, very happy to know that his nephew won't have to go through the same thing. Must have bottled up those feelings for...well, most of a lifetime.
Touching moment. On another note, that 102 yo man is impressively mobile and healthy for his age.
Drinking the blood of infants and eating foreskins will do that for you.

@@derraucherhase123 is that really how u think? lol
@@sunipye7051 its my opinion, forged by life expirience and many moments among men who should have showed their feeilings.
When he cried and said: "you won't be alone" you can tell he experienced utter loneliness before he found his family. So heartbreaking...
Not really.
Ppl get upset when they FEEL alone for a few days, this guy WAS alone for nearly his entire life I'm assuming, I'm so glad he reunited with family at the end
@•Kytu_qwq • yeah i couldnt imagine having to do that
I cant even imagine how it feels to know you have no one left. Im glad he lived long enough to know not everyone left him.
And pain.. pain from the horrors of the concentration camps. We must never let the world have an inept, narcissist, dictator again.
When he says “you won’t be alone” it’s like he’s almost saying it to himself.
This. This. This. This. This. This. This. THIS is exactly what I thought.

Hard to know what to add.
Might be cool if airports built a space for this type of event since so many happen. It's everything to connect the moment you can. Just wish people had the option of more privacy as well.
This part truly made me tear up.
He feels as though his people need to be there so they're not endangered and alone. Can't blame the guy
I can not fathom the depth of loneliness and despair he must have lived with his whole life and how much of a light meeting his nephew and seeing his brother in his features must have been. Amazing.
Rest in peace to him 🪦🕊️
He wasn't completely alone, he married and had kids after the war, so he did have at least some happiness beyond just this.
I'm sure he lived a very happy life and wasn't lonely at all with his wife and kids.
I'm crying thinking of the fact he didn't sleep in two days. He was probably thinking about what his brother went through and couldn't see the end of it. This is one of the most emotionally intense videos I've ever seen.

When he said “you won’t be alone”, it really did bring tears
Because he and the family he created probably felt alone. He is so happy to unite the families. Glad he lived to find out.
When the uncle marveled how much his nephew looked like his father it must have been so emotional for him because he never got to see his brother in old age as he thought he had died young. He remembered his brother as he looked back then, so to see his nephew as a grown man it must have felt like seeing how his brother would have looked later in life. An incredible experience I’m so glad they both got to experience and thankful we are able to witness it.
I loved your comment. What a sweet and very touching thought.
It hit when he said, "You won't be alone", because that had consumed his life for so long and he never wanted another family member to know that pain.
DroDay4 yeah I know
... yea .. we watched the video too
You called?
Cesar Robles man imagine waking up and being such an unlikable person like yourself
“You are a copy of your father.” The tears I held back... oh man.
Don't hold back, let's cry together ;_:
I tried, couldn't hold back.
@@aeusx6084 same. I can only let my tears fall
I lost it at that and cried.
no point trying to. I was emotional already, but seeing the face of someone you lost and thought dead 80 years ago in the face of his nephew just turned on the waterworks for me. His whole family was lost to him, he made himself a new one, but it is important to him to tell his nephew he has and will always have family, so he will not have to suffer his pain, and he's so happy for it.
🤧🥺🥺🥺 His nephew resembles him too! So glad he got to meet nephew! ❤
They look so much alike, when they were sitting side by side the resemblance was uncanny
The Onkel saying “you have family here, you won’t be alone” broke my heart. He knew how it feels to be alone and don’t want his nephew to feel the same way
“i haven’t slept for two nights, waiting for you” 😭🤍

Very sweet, but very heartbreaking
This is such a great heart warming story. I am shell shocked to see that over 4, 000 people disliked this.
@@ajevvachher missclicks hopefully
When he says “you won’t be alone” you can see the pain in his eyes. After all his loneliness, his first thought is not for himself, but for his family. It’s not “I won’t be alone”, but “You won’t be alone”. He feels empathetic and protective; he doesn’t want anyone else to feel the sadness he has felt. A small detail that marks a wonderful human being.
Grow up
Esotericno1
He’s writing essays and here’s you trying to insult him using two words
Esotericno1 There is nothing childish about compassion.
Insert: You’re not alone-FFIX
Thank you for highlighting that. It’s a “small detail,” yes, but it means so much.
"I haven't slept in 2 nights waiting for you"...that hit me hard.
Poor man, I can't even begin to imagine what he had to go through losing his family.
It is incredibly painful to go through this.
At least he has someone now. No person should ever go through such pain
Imagine your whole family being killed by a bunch of soldiers and you are forced to be on your own. What he mustve felt was heartwrenching.
Imagine losing your brother and getting to meet his son decades later. Anyone who has a sibling probably can imagine the emotions swirling
Yes
Indeed
you can't tell me what a can and can't do
Yeah i lost my brother and i can feel this pain miss uh bro
as the older sibling and child i- id break down crying
Also can you imagine believing your sibling died tragically young only to find out they lived a full life and had a family. 🙏
Yeah it was his nephew actually
@@anyonebutnell Yea I realized that but I'm sure it still gave him some peace and happiness finding out that his brother lived to be 87 and died 2011 rather than dying in 1939.
Maya W. (EDITED) did you even watch the video? the older man says "you look just like your father" meaning thats not his son, thats his nephew. his mom was probably pregnant with him just before his dad went off to war, had him during his service, and his uncle by the sounds of it didnt even know his brother was going to be a dad. as if his brother died before he got to tell him type thing. so this is huge news to him to find out his brother ended up having a kid and that kid lived a whole life with a family of his own.
EDIT: i clearly know what i said happened in the video. maya w edited their comment so it would look that way. they stated before that this was father and son, when really its uncle and nephew .
MrB4MV101 did u read the comment clearly? U literally said what he said
MrB4MV101 Did you watch the video? There was a caption in there that said the brother lived and sent his son to come meet him instead. His brother lived and had a family afterwards. He thought all of his family was dead, but it turns out he has more family.
Edit: Maya literally has no edit history. It doesn’t say it was ever edited. Man had to cover his tracks because he never read what she wrote. Does he not know we can see it’s edited?
"You won't be alone." He might not realize it, but he's also talking to himself. He's healing his trauma. ❤
I am so happy that he was reunited with his nephew who he never met until he was in his late 60s. The fact they even met is amazing and the emotions he felt were huge and one of the best in life.
He was moving fast in such a hurry to see his precious nephew, and he could see his brother again by looking at his nephew. He looks great for 102.
Brotherly love, relief and truth.
I want to like this comment but I would put it at a bad number /:
I was thinking that! 102 years young!! And his mind was still sharp as a tack, thank goodness, so he could truly appreciate the moment.
@John Bolero what do you mean by ew
That’s what’s I felt, it felt like he was speaking to his brother through his nephew you could tell he felt at home instantly
I am so happy he lived long enough to find out he's not alone.
So am I
@Mathias Pedersen Explained thats a high five emoji btw
doesn't help now doesnt it. life gone. the old man most likely conpared himself to the nephew being alone/not being alone and they just shut him up.
He was not alone he got a big family he said.

Oh heck the emotion in his voice. Those poor people. Bless all the innocent.
Wow, this guy spent 70 years thinking he was all alone, I can't imagine the emotions he felt when he learned his brother survived, and went through life thinking the same thing as him
His nephew..
@@acetiv8 his brother survived, but he got to meet his nephew.
@@acetiv8 ye we know that his nephew. David is saying how the old man must have felt learning that his brother survived and lived without him (living a whole life and having kids) thinking that he was dead just like himself. The emotions that kind of revalation would bring would be both devastating and joyful. Also knowing that he can't meet see him again because he had already passed away.

Yes, that statement stunned me. The old man at some point realized that both his brother and nephew were living their lives believing that they had no other family in the world.
That thinking isn’t comparable to not seeing your kids or grandkids on weekends. It’s just, well 🤷🏽♂️ 😔
“now u have a big family here in Israel, you wont be alone” this really killed me, and the way he looked at him with his eyes full of tears, it was really pure

Can you imagine, finding out at 102 that your little brother who you thought died long ago along with the entire rest of yor family, survived! Married and had children and you still have family that isn't your direct descendants. Wow. What a thing to go to the afterlife with, a gift of priceless value. I think this guy will go in peace when he is finally ready.
He is not alone, he has wife and kids. that's why he told his nephew that he now has a family in israel.
@@FOOJFOOJIYAMA Well sure he had a family but youre being too literal with the word alone. Not having a father, mother, brother, sister, cousin, nephew, aunt, uncle...Nothing existing.

It shows how much he's been waiting and hurting. Mentioning how his nephew looks like his younger brother, imagine how much he misses him.
His voice breaking as he cried too...I can't even imagine what they've all gone through.
a lot even when WW2 ended the fact that he believed that everyone he knew was gone is the emotional and mental equivalent of physical torture

What a crime that his brother survived the war, and he didn't know this, and wasn't able to connect with him while he was alive. What a loss.

thats the part that got me as well.
Yea I was gonna like this comment but the like count got me tricked out.
Yes, he wanted to let his nephew know he would never be alone.
That's the bit that got me too. After all these years to be able to say you'll never be alone is heart-warming and heartbreaking at the same time. ❤
He’s now 106, meaning he was born in either 1915 or 1916. Truly one of the worst times to be born, during the First World War. He probably also had to go through the Polish-Soviet war and next, the worst one, World War II. I hope this man lives the rest of his life happily, he truly did not deserve to suffer like this.
Is he still alive?
He now knows his family won't die with him. He'll be happy now that he has a living legacy.
Reuniting at his age, so powerful. Some things just define you with closure or not.

Beautiful and inspirational❤️
Sending love to Eliahu, Alexandre, and their whole family, past and present❤️
Nothing is more emotional than 2 men crying because a years of solitude and pain got relieved from their hearts. Imagine how tragic it would've been if he died alone thinking that he was the last of his bloodline...
"You're a copy of your father."
That was the point, at which I shed a tear. In that moment he realized, that his brother had found a way to not only survive, but also to live and love. And since traits can be inherited, his nephew represents a part of his brother, that is still alive.
Indeed
This comment was what made me tear up
Subs are wrong. He didn’t say that
@@alexvm8352 what did he say??
But his younger brother had also survived
"I haven't slept in two nights waiting for you"
my heart wept.
True I know right. It's unexplainable feeling .
😩😩😩😩
hearts dont weep
@@Lmclean89 yall are so rude
currently crying my eyes out i’m so happy he was able to see his family ❤️
"You won't be alone" 🥺
"Now you have a big family here in Israel, you won't be alone"
This hit me so hard, imagine losing all your relatives, friends and family. The loneliness he must have felt all those years...
I can’t stop crying, my heart aches for him
He said Israel 🤷🏼♀️
@Rami khalaf don’t make this about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it’s irrelevant here man
@K.G do they feed the world though, such an irrelevant thing to say
@K.G and that shows what type of person you are, nice conversation
