Never underestimate the power of books....

A 67-year reunion of wartime survivors, inspired by Google Books

Imagine the surprise of a Jewish Holocaust survivor searching her family name on Google to find that her family was discussed in a memoir of an American bomber pilot who hid in the same safe house to avoid capture by the Nazis. The woman, who was a little girl at the time, the author, and the author's father, who was the pilot, were reunited through Google Books.

Thanks to Alisha Miles for tweeting the link.
