A Toronto woman who had been searching for her biological parents since she was a child finally has the answers she longed for at the age of 77.
Elena Milman was born in a displaced persons camp in 1947 and first learned she was adopted when she was six years old living on a Kibbutz in Israel.
A child told a group of kids that some might not be with their real parents—sparking her decades long search for the truth.
“Finally I know who I am,” an emotional Milman said in an interview with CTV News Toronto Wednesday.
After years of questions and hard work, Milman eventually tracked down her mother in Montreal at the age of 32. She travelled there and spent a year with her mother’s family and got to know two half siblings.
Milman came to learn her mother had escaped from the Warsaw Ghetto during the Holocast and had been living with a hidden identity until the end of the war.
Her mother provided almost no information about her father, except that he was a great singer and dancer.
