    Hilda Shlick, 75, thought she lost nearly all her family in the Holocaust — until her

    Internet-savvy(2) grandsons located her 81-year-old brother in Canada. "After 65

    years, I have found the sister who I love," Simon Glasberg said Monday in heavily

    accented(3) English, his eyes filling with tears. "I can't stop kissing her." Using

    the database of Holocaust(4) victims at Yad Vashem, Israel's Holocaust memorial, two

    of Shlick's grandchildren, Benny and David, began unearthing a mystery spanning(5) six

    decades and three continents. While improved technology in recent years has made the

    task of tracking Holocaust survivors easier, fewer and fewer survivors remain as each

    year passes. Scanning the database, the grandsons, both in their 20s, discovered an

    entry(6) erroneously(7) stating their grandmother had perished(8) half a century

    earlier. That entry led them to other surviving relatives, who eventually brought

    about(9) the siblings'(10) emotional reunion Friday. When Glasberg, who lives near

    Ottawa, Canada, saw his gray-haired(11) little sister for the first time, he

    recognized her immediately, he said. The last time the two saw each other was in 1941,

    when the Glasberg family in Romania was separated after the Nazis invaded. Hilda, then

    10, escaped to Uzbekistan with her older sister Bertha. The rest of the family —

    parents and four brothers including Simon — stayed in Romania, finding refuge(12) in

    a basement. The fate of one sister, Pepi, remains unknown. She disappeared and is

    presumed to have been killed by the Nazis. Glasberg, his brothers and parents

    emigrated to Canada after the war ended. Shlick and her sister moved to Estonia, where

    Bertha died in 1970. In 1998, Shlick immigrated to Israel. During a family

    conversation this summer, her grandsons learned her maiden name was Glasberg, and they

    began to investigate her past.
