Yeah, so the movie's based on kind of like two people. So what we speak of in the movie is our Grandma Dory. She's my Aunt Doris. And she left Poland in 1918. The person who survived the war is my cousin Maria. And Maria actually stayed in Poland after the war. Both of them actually passed away in, well, actually in 2019 and 2021, respectively. And... My Aunt Doris, she was like my mentor.

I don't know exactly how to describe her. She was tough, really strict with me. And I started seeing her when I was like 17 every Thursday. I would see her every Thursday for three hours up until she died. She died at 106 years old in 2019. I even lived with her in my early 30s in her cramped apartment. I was very interested in her life because she had a very interesting life.

And she was not impressed with me being a movie actor, which I started when I was 17 as well. And I think I needed that kind of like real world, you know, humbling mechanism. And being with her every week made me feel like connected to the bigger world more. The person that survived the war, Maria, you know, it's as we kind of described in the movie Through a Thousand Miracles.

And I stayed with her for several weeks in Poland as well. And she was just this lovely but very tragic figure who I think was like... expected disappointment from the world in a way that I found so sad. She expected to be disappointed. She had, on top of surviving the Holocaust and losing all of her family, she also lost a son when he was 18.

And so she just, I think, had this expectation from the world that it was going to be disappointing. And so it was almost like a nihilism rather than a kind of misery. And that was more sad. I think when you're miserable, there's like a little...

You know, maybe a little, you know, streak inside you that's still like hopeful and the misery is because you're not experiencing the thing that you were hoping for. But a nihilism is something altogether worse, you know, which is that, you know, you don't expect anything positive to happen. And that's what she displayed most.

Wow, that's a great question. My family has become increasingly secular just because it was assimilated into American culture. You become probably a little more secular. That's probably not uncommon. But, yeah, I think my family in general does not think in a kind of tribal way. And so I think, like, the takeaway from the Holocaust would probably be something more along the lines of –
