Holocaust Survivor, Rescuer Reunited in New York City
An Israeli man and Polish woman were reunited Wednesday at Kennedy Airport seven decades after her Catholic family saved the 4-year-old Jewish boy from the Holocaust.
Michael Hochberg, 77, greeted 86-year-old Krystyna Jakubowska with a bouquet of flowers. Her family took in the boy after he was literally thrown out of the Jewish ghetto in Warsaw. The Catholic family hid him for several years.
