In the Blood: Lena Dunham Discovers Her Ancestors' Heartbreaking Story of Survival

[@Butterfly-ue1ph]

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

[@bcRockstar]

“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!

[@flannerymonaghan-morris4825]

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.

[@klara664]

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

[@rupertfergusson]

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

[@Avigailish]

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

[@SuperRobertoClemente]

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.

[@elainegoad9777]

Murdered only because they were Gaza or West Bank Palestinian !

[@tudormiller887]

Unfortunately the hatred of the Jews still continues in the 21st century. 😢🔯

[@tudormiller887]

​@@elainegoad9777Lena Dunham has nothing to do with the ongoing war between Israel & Hamas. Why does every Jew have to be linked to this war ?

[@Scl45689]

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

[@billytoja]

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?

[@barbarabaldwin7120]

YES

[@biegebythesea6775]

No, God didn't call for us to do anything. Men pretended he did so they could control us.

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.

@@MirjanaPucarevic Selten = rare . seldom. unique. Wirth is an abreviation from werd which is worth. So close to Seltenwirth translation from German language it comes down to "Seldom Worth"

Of rare worth. Seldom has an embedded negative connotation, (it’s a false cognate in this case).
