Mom Survives WWII Only To Leave A Mysterious Note For Her Son That Served Its Purpose 50 Years Later

Lisa Ghali, Reconnecting Families

The case was spread on a global level. The Polish Red Cross shared all the details of it with Lisa Ghali, the then American Red Cross Senior Associate of Reconnecting Families, Washington, D.C. She was an expert in looking into unseen clues to reunite families and she started with her investigation.

A New Lead

After going through the old records, Lisa started to look into the Red Cross’ newly digitalized records. And this was the platform that gave her the most exciting piece of information. She found the case of George Skrzynecky which he launched during the 1970s.

Connecting The Two

Ghali right away called the two of them and connected them over the call. Within minutes, they decided to reunite at Poland’s Warsaw airport. Lucian later explained, “It is the first time I’ve ever felt this kind of happiness. I didn’t expect this at all. There were times when I thought I was dreaming.”

Couldn’t Wait Any Longer

Before boarding the flight, George said on the airport: “I hope that from now on we’ll always be close together. I cannot wait to hug him.” The moment was captured by media as well as their family members. 

The Emotional Reunion

George admitted that his search was on from past 49 years and he almost lost hopes of ever finding his brother again. George expressed the moment he found about Lucian: “For a while… I just… I couldn’t stop crying. All my life I want to know my family. And I was thinking… I’m never gonna find them.” 

Welcome My Brother

So, that September 14th, 2015, the first thing Lucian said to his twin brother was: “My heart is overwhelming with joy to welcome you on Polish soil.” They tried to hold back their tears but it seemed impossible for them to calm down. Overwhelmed will be a small feeling to contain what they might have felt at that moment.
