A profound emotional bond that may be felt even when separated comes with
having a twin. The reunion of twin brothers Lucian Poznanski and George
Skrzynecky, who were split up at birth, after over 70 years has demonstrated
the validity of this relationship. After years of seeking, the Red Cross was
eventually able to link the guys when they were 69 years old.
The twins' natural mother, a Polish woman who had moved to work in a World
War II forced labor camp, gave birth to the boys in Germany. Documents
indicate that the woman fell unwell soon after giving birth. The boys were
returned to Poland and adopted by several families there. The boys were not
informed by either of their adoptive families that they were adopted or that
a twin sibling existed.
When they were just starting to become adults, the brothers learned they
had been adopted. After Poznanski enlisted in the military and Skrzynecky
uncovered the adoption documents and confronted his parents about their
deceit, Poznanski learned the truth. Skrzynecky relocated to California,
where he now resides, as a result of the split this generated between him
and his adopted mother. In 1960, Skrzynecky requested the Red Cross help in
locating his twin, but they were unsuccessful at the time.
The Red Cross eventually found Poznanski in 2015 and informed him that his
brother was hunting for him. There were many emotions shed as the twins were
reunited in September 2015 at the Warsaw, Poland, airport. Read on to find
out more about these brothers and see their heartwarming reunion.
In a video posted by the BBC, you can see both of the brothers breaking
down as they discuss how lonely it is to live separate lives from one
another. I've just wanted to know my family my entire life, Skrzynecky
remarked. I went 70 years without learning anything and believed I would
never locate him.
The brothers were eager to reunite and make up for missed time when the day
finally arrived. Skrzynecky remarked, "I never knew when this day was going
to happen; I was thinking one day I'll locate my brother. "I couldn't wait
to give him a huge kiss and a bear hug."
Both brothers were eager to get to know one another after spending their
whole childhoods separated from their original family. Poznanski said, "I
don't care whether I win the jackpot. I simply want my brother at my side.
He continued by saying that he had always felt like he had a twin but had
always assumed he was just dreaming.
The moment the two guys initially laid eyes on one another, they both
sobbed uncontrollably. "These are real males who are not scared to display
their feelings," one commenter on the video stated.
Someone another mentioned how delighted their biological mother would be to
see the twins together. "Their Mother must be beaming down on them, and she
can finally relax, her babies are back together," they stated.
Added a third commenter: "The fact that these two men had the chance to
meet each other makes me SO happy. 70 years of ignorance is absurd. The fact
that they got the opportunity to meet is wonderful in and of itself because
many individuals don't live to be 70."
