Mrs. Ida Kirschbaum, of this city, and Benjamin Goldstein, of Baltimore, who are sister and brother, have found each other after a 44-year separation, which began in Warsaw, Poland. Goldstein left Poland 44 years ago and went to America. At first he wrote home, but after the World War he lost track of his family.
After the war, Mrs. Kirschbaum and her sister, Mrs: Anna Block, of Stevens Point, Wis., moved from Poland to America. Despite repeated advertisements in newspapers they could never find their brother.
Recently Mrs. Kirschbaum visited Baltimore and by an odd train of events heard of Benjamin Goldstein. When she returned to Minneapolis she took a chance and wrote to him, and he turned out to be her long-lost brother. He rushed to this city and they have just had a reunion.
