A Jewish boy who hid from the Nazis in a haystack was reunited in New York after 70 years Wednesday November 27 2013. with the Polish son whose parents risked everything to save him,
Beaming American Holocaust survivor Leon Gersten, 79, embraced and clasped the hand of a visibly moved Czeslaw Polziec, 81, whose Polish parents saved five Jews during World War II. Gersten, accompanied by his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren welcomed Polziec after his flight before a battery of cameras at New York's JFK airport. It was an emotional moment for two elderly men who parted as 10 and 11 year olds in 1944 as the Russians liberated their village.
