The fact that her great grandmother was only 14 years old, still practically a child, and came here by herself without her parents is beyond me. I cannot imagine being that age and setting off on your own, & having to say goodbye to your loved ones back home—not knowing whether or not you will ever see them again.

And then finding out that you had siblings who stayed behind in Europe for whatever reason—only to lose them to terrible circumstances. Wow.

“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.

Lena is so beautiful and so eloquently spoken with the way she says things and uses her words!

[margaretforsey]

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

😢😢😢 Wow this made me cry.
Murdered only because they were Jews. How horrible!!

actually she has features like brown eyes hair which can be found in Poland (Lena) and easily contencted with jewish roots, Lena is also name which is used in Poland, not very often but still. Also she has very rebel nature which most young polish people have, liking fight for justice and common rights... so nothing suprising here that she has Polish roots. I am happy that I am from Poland and I know polish language and i able to understand this documents they have showed :D she had glorious (chwalebne) behavior which means probably she was good student, smart and nice girl.

Surviving shouldn't be about throwing other people under the bus, so we can live. We shouldn't be afraid to die for a good cause. Did not God call us to be brave and courageous?

Lena Dunham doesn't need to find her roots. She needs to find her HDL and LDL numbers

[JB-peyn]

Lena has a lot of nerve to be seen in public. It's difficult to look at her.

How many hot dogs did they pay her for this?
