But one lucky woman achieved a miracle when she reconnected with her long-lost mother after 71 years.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A Tragic Story<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Margot Bachmann was born in Heidelberg, Germany. Her Italian mother was living in a labor camp and her father was a German soldier. Her mother was forced to give her child up and Margot was raised by her father\u2019s family. After the war ended, chaos ensued in the country. The young mother believed she had lost her daughter forever and returned to her native Italy. And Margot\u2019s father tried to convince her that her mother was dead, but she never believed him. Once her father passed away, she decided to finally search for her birth mother.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8181\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8181\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8181\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/34_big.jpg\" alt=\"source\" width=\"700\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/34_big.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/34_big-572x300.jpg 572w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/34_big-600x315.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/34_big-85x45.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8181\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/photos.wikimapia.org\/p\/00\/02\/00\/18\/34_big.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">{adinserter CNP5}<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Search Began<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Margot approached an organization named the International Tracing Service.
