Grab Some Tissues And Watch Twins Reunite For The First Time In 70 Years

The brothers were separated following World War II.

Get ready to cry ALL the tears. On Monday, Sept. 14, BBC News dropped a video documenting the emotional reunion between twins who hadn't seen each other for over 70 (!!) years.

"I didn't know I had a twin brother," Lucian Poznanski said. "In my heart I always had a feeling that I did have a twin brother. I don't care about winning the lottery. I just want to have my brother by my side."

George Skrzynecky and Lucian Poznanski's mother, Elizabeth, grew up in Poland but was sent to work at a forced labor camp in Germany during World War II. The twins were born following her liberation, but she fell ill along the way. Their birth father, a U.S. soldier, had already returned back to the States. So, the Polish Red Cross sent the boys back to Poland, where they were adopted by separate families. Neither of them knew anything about each other until much later.

"We didn't know anything about each other because our adopted family never talk[ed] with us," Skrzynecky said. After he learned the truth, he tried to find his brother in 1960s but was unsuccessful. Then he moved to California to start anew.

Meanwhile, Poznanski found out about his adoption -- but not his twin -- when he was drafted into the army. He remained in Poland, got married and started a family there.

Thanks to the Red Cross, Skrzynecky and Poznanski finally reunited in Warsaw Chopin Airport. It was an emotional experience for both men, who were crying happy tears the whole time. Watch their full story unfold below.
