12. A story about a woman who survived the Holocaust and at the end of her days told her daughter she was Jewish. She asked her to check if her brother was also a survivor, and she searched the survivor records in Germany. Eventually, she found him and told him that his mother – his sister was alive, and he immediately traveled to visit her. Then his sister – the survivor, asked him to find her real husband, and after extensive searches, the husband she married in the ghetto saw the daughter and said she resembled his wife. She told him what had happened, and a few hours before her death, he met his wife. Years later, the daughter who discovered she was Jewish lost all her property and was contemplating suicide, and just then a letter arrived that the husband of her mother, whom she found, bequeathed her a legendary sum.
