Menachem Bodner survived the Auschwitz death camp. He was 4 years old then and doesn’t remember his time in the notorious death camp. He knows he had a twin brother, and deep down always believed he was alive somewhere. The only definite link between them is the number tattooed on his arm - A7734. Now, thanks to help from Ayana KimRon, a genealogist, the 72-year-old has proof his brother, Jolli, survived the camp, and he's enlisting the Internet to help find him.
The search began when Ayana KimRon spotted a post from Bodner's partner's cousin on a genealogical message board, and found a Nazi record showing a pair of twins who were "identified as having been liberated at Auschwitz." Clues lead to possible adoption by a Christian family, then to the USA. Whatever name and location, his tattooed number is A7734.

Can you help? He was named Jolli but the name he uses today is unknown. He may be your neighbor, a friend, or even a relative. You can read more about Menachem Bodner's search on a Facebook page titled "A7734" at https://www.facebook.com/pages/A7734/499971010060858.
