USHMM and Ancestry.com help to find information about lost relatives

Sol Finkelstein had no idea what happened to his father. In 1945, just days before liberation at Mauthausen concentration camp, Sol and his father were separated, and Sol never saw him again. Recently Sol's family contacted the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) in hopes of finding more information about his father. The Museum discovered the date and place of Sol's fathers death.
