Two sisters who survived the Holocaust and moved separately to Israel were reunited after 61 years with the help of a high-tech data base, a spokeswoman from the Israel Holocaust memorial said Sunday.
Estee Yaari of the Yad Vashem Heroes and Martyrs Memorial Authority said Klara Blaier 81, and Hannah Katz, 78, moved to Israel in 1948, each unaware that the other had survived the Nazi murder of 6 million Jews during World War II. Yaari said the two had last seen each other in Hungary in 1944, shortly after their parents had sent them from their home in the former Czechoslovakia to live with relatives.
