There's some good studies on what you observed with twins. The "identical" twins when separated at birth and then rejoined, have many more things similar that they chose in life. Sometimes they marry women are too looking the same, sometimes with the same first names.. They drink the same beer have the same likes and dislikes in many areas. I'm glad you saw that too, I thought the same. Good eye.

Pretty sure it said on the document at 1:47 that she had debated putting them up for adoption for a time, before she then decided to desert the children, so, not too much sympathy for her in that regard, she clearly didn't care for them too much, so she wouldn't care either way whether or not they found each other again. Sympathy for having to go through the turmoil of living in a Nazi labour camp certainly, but not for straight up abandoning her children,

Most of the time, they do what they can to keep siblings together. This was long ago though. Even still, the moral question arises, "What do you do when you can't keep siblings together, but they each could go to a loving family? Do you keep them together without parents, or separate them?"

[@lpperrone]

Exactly correct!

[@2ndhandSue]

Mark Marsh - It is so very sad htwins are separated. If their birth mother cannot rais them, they should be kept together and adopted by the same family. It is so cruel to separate them when they are so closely bound to each other and already they are being separated from their birth mother. Let them have each other. My friend's son got married and he and his wife tried to have children for 10 years and then applied for adoption when it became clear that they could not have their own children. They adopted a newborn boy from a girl who was too young to raise him. After two years they got a phone call from the adoption agency who told them that this girl had given birth again to another boy and she was hoping that he could be adopted by the same family as his brother so that they could be together. So my friend's son and his wife adopted the second child - they will always be together. They will not have to go through this pain of trying to find each other later in life.

Not to be a downer, but I kind of disagree. I am a twin myself, but there really is not a way this can realistically be true. Deep in all our hearts, we know we long for very deep connection, though.

I'm an only child...I couldn't imagine knowing I had a sibling, much less a twin out there. I've always been jealous of true sibling bonds. I know some people grow apart from the people they grew up with...but to have someone so close in age to you that can be your best friend from birth must be glorious.

[@ryans6280]

Agreed big time 😭

[@basaka00]

Gosh, I got so emotional with this video. I'm so happy for these men. To see each others again was so meaningful for them. I can't imagine my life far from my siblings, they mean a lot to me.

[@maximilianozimek5403]

At 5:27 they translated it as “I’m very grateful to the Red Cross” while he actually said he’s “grateful to Mother Mary and God”

[@kathyanderson6946]

i was wondering about that because early on it said the red cross couldnt find his brother

[@rosariomitacc178]

Thank you for the right translation.

[@elizabeth5985]

Wow how strange they changed that! That's lying. They may have wanted to give props to the Red Cross who likely helped with this show and the research into their past for the show, but that is lying.

He’s right. After the war there was so much chaos - so much loss. Everyone I know from Germany still feels it, except for the very young. I’m so happy for these men and their reunification. Smiling through my tears.

I'm a single dad of twins I cannot imagine the heartache of waking up and finding out your babies were gone. At least adopted is better than disappeared I suppose, but I'm crying for that woman rn. I could not live with that always searching always wondering never knowing. Who is protecting them? Are they safe? I could not. I feel so sorry for her.

[@salwamoustafa9284]

Ure a wonderful dad

[@mistress9sama]

I felt bad for the other twin (not Lucien; forgot the name of the one who moved to USA) who said his relationship with his adopted mother deteriorated the moment he found out he was adopted and had a biological mother. I mean, that's not fair for that twin at to be treated that way. He deserved answers and to find his true identity. It made me wonder if the adopted mother knew about the biological mother trying to locate her boys and such? Just too selfish...

[@ESCL2004]

@@mistress9sama if the adoptive mom *did* know the bio mom was looking for her kid, and chose to keep her adopted son in the dark, then that's pure selfishness

[@reginaowens2971]

It's also sad that their bio mom died when they were only 6. They may have younger siblings in the USA and don't realize it,from their father's side.

Alhamdullah allah knows best

[@sajalsajalta1116]

Vitalyzdtv 2ndChannal - it is a bit baffling about what the Allah knows and what the allah doesn't know- let's see the story of Al khidr and the small boy story in the quran, musa(moses)was very much taken aback and hurt when Al Khidr cut the throat of the small boy and threw him overboard , off the ship. Musa asked Al khidr as to why he killed an innocent boy, he refused to answer for quite sometime only afterwards he answered- he told that he killed the innocent boy because Allah TOLD him to do as the Allah knew that the boy was growing up to be an INFIDEL and causing trouble to his parents who were faithful believers and so the parents would be hurt so allah wanted the innocent boy to be killed...See preemptive strike by allah...lol Now lets talk about another matter in the quran -the allah is continuously showing his anger on the Jews and Christians saying that they will be burnt in hell as they did not preserve his earlier books the torah and the injeel respectively...It's funny that this allah did not know before hand that the jews and christians would not preserve his books lol.....This shows allah is a drunkard, moron....oh he is a pimp by the way, he gifts 72 virgins ...lol

[@mrzemz]

sajal sajalta allah is the most glorious ever. listen girl may allah guide you. also read the quran it has predicted the whole future. prophet muhammad (saw) has said this whole thing in syria will happen also everythin he said years ago has happened read scientific facts of quran seriously i promise u will convert!!!!!!! may allah guide u to the truth sister or brother (whatever sex you are)
