Andre Nowacki, now 68, was reunited in New York on Nov. 24 with Hanna Morawiecka, 74, one of three Polish sisters whose family hid him and his mother in Warsaw during the war. Morawiecka, the only sister still alive, was flown to New York to meet Nowacki by the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous, which honors non-Jews who risked their lives to hide Jews during the Holocaust and financially aids some of them. The two shared a Thanksgiving meal. Nowacki told journalists, “she tells me I haven’t changed since I was 9 years old.”
