7. SOUNDBITE (English) Daniel Horowitz, genealogist, MyHeritage:
"When I approached Shalom, he revealed that he (didn't) knew anything about his family. He was an orphan. He never met, not the parents, any kind of other member of his family. He was alone in this world."

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Ann Meddin Hellman, relative of Shalom Korai, on finding her relative who was an orphan after the Holocaust:
"I felt like I've given somebody, yeah, a new life. I was gonna say he became my child. You know, I have to protect him and take care of him."
12. Wide of Ann Meddin Hellman and Shalom Korai walking through the airport
13. SOUNDBITE (English) Arie Bauer, friend of Shalom Korai, describing how he found out about his family:
"And it's slowly dawning, dawning on him. You know, we had a lot of conversation about it, and he's getting used little by little to have a brand new family that he never knew about before."
14. Wide of Shalom Korai and Arie Bauer leaving the airport
STORYLINE:
Shalom Korai never knew his real name or his birthday. As a toddler was saved from the streets of a burning Warsaw ghetto during World War II as the rest of his family was murdered by Nazis in Poland.
He lived with no idea of his past.
Until Wednesday, when Korai walked off an airplane in South Carolina on Wednesday (July 10) and into the arms of Ann Meddin Hellman. Her grandfather was the brother of Korai's grandfather.
“I feel like I’ve given somebody a new life. He's become my child. I have to protect him and take care of him,” Hellman said, beaming and giving Koray another hug as they waited for his luggage so they could start several days of parties with dozens of other relatives at Hellman's Charleston home.
The two long lost relatives found each other through the modern magic of DNA science and a genetic test Korai was given by a psychologist who studies children orphaned in the Holocaust.
"Ann did a DNA test and had it on MyHeritage," said Daniel Horowitz, an expert genealogist at MyHeritage. "Shalom had a DNA test on MyHeritage. MyHeritage found out that they are second cousins."
