As I've made clear in the past, I normally don't pay a whole lot of attention to the "lost love" stories on UM, but I recently came across one on a tape that I do not recall seeing on Lifetime.
The story was about a man named Frank Acs (pronounced like "ax") who was searching for his biological sister whom he had not seen since the thirties. Acs born in Budapest in 1926. His mother died of an infection days after he was born. His father was unable to care for Frank and his older sister, so he gave Frank to his parents, and the sister went to live with other relatives (the father's brother possibly, I can't recall). Anyhow, since this split occurred shortly after Frank's birth, he grew up not knowing he had a sister. Several years later when Frank was a teenager, he was introduced to a cousin Vicki at a family dinner. Vicki was just a few years older than Frank. In actuality, Vicki was the missing sister, but no one in the family thought it appropriate to tell Frank or Vicki at the time. Around this time WWII began and Vicki's family fled to America. Frank never saw her again. Frank's grandparents died, and his father was killed by the Gestapo. Frank himself served in the army and eventually made it back to the U.S. Years later, after the death of his wife in 1984, Frank began researching his past, and discovered the truth about his cousin/sister. He is now looking for her, as she is his last living biological relative.
Does anyone remember this one, or know of an update?
