KUDROW'S HORROR PAST

February 26th 2010 22:18

Lisa Kudrow

Lisa Kudrow has appeared on Who Do You Think You Are, a reality show which traces celebrities ancestry and found out some tragic news.
Her Jewish great-grandmother, Mera Mordejovich, had been killed in Nazi Germany during World War II, but Lisa had heard this before.

She says, "My father told me that after the war his cousin Boleslaw had visited his parents' house and told them their village in Belarus had been razed to the ground. When I was young, my grandma said Hitler killed her mother, but I didn't want to know the story. I told myself that my grandmother wasn't a reliable source and that everyone got out of Europe in time.
"The show made me face up to it. The people were stripped, shot and burned. Hearing the details made it worse because you conjure up an image of what it must have been like for them."
But the show did reunite Lisa with her dad's cousin: "I expected he had died. It had been one sad story after another... Then we discovered Boleslaw was alive. It was an amazing end to a difficult journey."
Who Do You Think You Are is originally a UK show but now has been picked up in the states.
