    “We don’t just share DNA, but also mannerisms, features, emotions…..” Probably the best answer ever given to his common question, How do you feel knowing this?, from an accomplished, good human.

    It would be cool if Lena wrote and directed a film about her great great grandmother’s life. That would be fascinating!

    Cheers from Poland ❤ Jewish life in pre-war Poland was the biggest in Europe… hopefully it will be restored one day 🙏🏻

      Poland is full and doing nicely without them. They think about themselves first at the expense of those who had invited them.

    • @SuperRobertoClemente
      @SuperRobertoClemente Před 2 měsíci

      But I think we are familiar with this historical fact at this point. My question is, what is the real lesson of the Holocaust? Is the one thing we are to conclude that Jews were the victims of all history? After all, this simply isn't true-- there were other horrible things done to other groups of people. So the lesson of the Shoah must be: it's more than ONE family tree, more than one individual or one ethnic identity at a time. This can be done to ANYONE if they are targeted in the wrong time and place. That is what we need to be vigilant about now and in the future-- the Holocaust is not just something in the past. It's a test case for human rights.

      Why are you being antisemitic? What do these people, who were murdered many many many years ago have to do with anything going on now? Are you laying blame at their feet? Hatred and blame towards Jews murdered by nazis 75ish years ago tells me you have no real sympathy for anyone. Not for Palestinians or anyone else. Sometime in the future you will simply find some reason to hate Palestinians too. @elainegoad9777

      She sexually abused her younger sister when they were kids and passed it off as exploring “her sexuality” you don’t explore your sexuality with your siblings. Lena Dunham is gross for that and I would rethink praising her.
