Hunt for WWII survivors continues

May 15, 2008

Freddy was nine when he emerged from the Buchenwald concentration camp in 1945. His parents were missing and he was lucky to be adopted by a Jewish couple in the United States. But only now -- more than 60 years after the end of World War II -- has he found out his mother also survived the camps.  And she too moved to the United States, though neither knew of the other's fate. Freddy was "less than five when he was taken into the ghetto (in Poland) and when he was separated from his mother and father," said Sallyan Amdur Sack, whose uncle and aunt adopted Freddy and who now works for the International Institute of Jewish Genealogy.
