Meeting my parents 41 years after our separation

Israel is hoping to offer some answers about "missing" children of Jewish immigrants from Arab countries. It is alleged that they were kidnapped from hospitals and put up for adoption in the 1950s. The Israeli government has launched an online database containing thousands of declassified documents on what has been called the Yemenite Children Affair. Gil Grunbaum was one of the children who was adopted.
