The twins who were separated during the Holocaust | DW Documentary

Separated as toddlers, the Jewish twins Adam and Ida Paluch survived the Holocaust knowing almost nothing about their roots. Half a century later, the two strangers miraculously find each other. Will their story have a fairytale ending?

Adam and Ida were separated when they were just three years old. Adam survived a concentration camp and was given up for adoption. Ida survived the war in hiding with a Polish couple. Both siblings were baptized, given new names and birth certificates and raised Catholic. It seemed almost impossible that they would ever see each other again. But one day Ida discovered a photo in the newspaper that reminded her of someone. Now, for the first time in their lives, Adam and Ida Paluch tell their story to a German film crew. It’s an incredible tale about loss, identity and the search for belonging.
