World War II Relic Found in Nazi Death Camp Helps Reunite Jewish Family
(Newsweek) Cristina Maza - Archeologists from Israel's Antiquities Authority were excavating the site of a Nazi death camp in Poland when they discovered mass graves, gas chambers and a small silver pendant with a date, the place name Frankfurt, and the Hebrew words "mazal tov" written on it. The pendant's discovery set off a chain of events that brought together the long-lost relatives of the little girl who once wore the pendent. The girl's name was Karoline Cohn, and over 30 of her relatives will unite in Frankfurt, Germany, her hometown, next week. Chaim Motzen, an amateur genealogist, located over 100 of Karoline's cousins and their descendants in the U.S., Israel, Japan, Great Britain, Nicaragua, and Hong Kong.
