Default Pa. woman, brother separated by Nazis to reconnect

AP


PHILADELPHIA - A Philadelphia woman separated from her family by the Nazis is preparing for a reunion with a brother she hasn't seen in 66 years.

Irene Famulak (FAM'-yoo-lak) was 17 and when the Nazis invaded the Ukrainian Catholic family's home in 1942. Famulak was sent to be a cook in Germany and never saw another family member again. But that's about to change.

The Red Cross says the 83-year-old's youngest brother Sevelud (SEV'-eh-lood) has turned up in Germany trying to trace his sister.

Irene Famulak's daughter says the family will now plan a reunion.
