ITV News published this video item, entitled “The war orphans reunited 80 years on from the Holocaust | ITV News” – below is their description.
Jacques Weisser was only six months old when, in 1942, he was stolen from his family by the Nazis and sent to an orphanage for Jewish children.
There he met Bill Frankenstein, who lost his entire family during the Second World War.
