Halina Michałowska and Krystyna Leszczynska were both born during World War II and neither knew the other existed. The two Polish women recently found each other after a DNA test revealed that they are sisters and that they are Jewish.

Watch the sweet moment as the two were reunited for the first time this January:

Both sisters had been told that they had been abandoned at a church, and raised in an orphanage run by nuns. Neither remembered their parents and had no information about them, but the discovery of their Jewish ancestry gives them a clue as to why they were abandoned.

Leszczynska said of the discovery,

"It was a massive, massive shock for me. I think everyone would feel like that in my shoes. What runs through my head is that I was not simply abandoned as a child, but that maybe someone has tried very hard to save me from the Holocaust. And while I have always thought that I was alone in this world, now it's turned out that I and my sister were left together in a safe place."

The two sisters plan to continue researching their family history and making up for lost time together after spending nearly 80 years apart.

Michałowska said about her sister,

"It turns out we both are constantly singing. I constantly have music playing in my head. We also write poems and rhymes. We both make liqueurs and Krystyna, like me, loves eggnog. I never thought I would find a sister and I am still shocked and surprised, but when we are together we are very similar."

Absolutely beautiful!
