She knew the name of her mother, Lillian Feinsilver. Loewenstern was adopted two months after the birth of Feinsilver. But for most of her life, she did not believe that her mother was dead. Something inside made him believe that there was more. She wanted to know what happened. She tried using a private investigator who did not give an answer, so she gave up.

But recently, she decided to try again, years after arriving in Boca Raton, and at the request of her daughter-in-law. she tried the DNA service of Ancestry.com, the Washington Post reported.

On May 13, he was told that there was a match. A familiar name was resurrected – Lillian Feinsilver and she was alive, living just 80 minutes from Loewenstern in Port St. Lucie, Florida. She is now called Lillian Ciminierti. It's his son Sam Ciminierti who first contacted Loewenstern

Her guardian, Sam Ciminierti's ex-wife, said Lillian Ciminierti had learned that her daughter was dead, reports the Washington Post

Last month, Ciminierti and Loewenstern found themselves in the # 39, where Ciminierti lives. The family members who were part of the meeting told The Washington Post that it was disappointing at first because no one knew what to say.

After a few questions from Loewenstern and Ciminierti did not answer them, Loewenstern started crying. It was the moment that Ciminierti began to become aware. Family members started showing videos to Ciminierti, explaining the extended family she had no idea about.
