And so there's a lot of these stories that are still, have not been uncovered and, you know, are kind of lost in time.

And so if you have a living relative who's lived through the Holocaust, you know, to be able to, I mean, the work that the Shoah Foundation does to preserve those stories is so vital.

It's so important, especially because the population is dwindling rapidly.

No, I never did.

I unfortunately never did.

I think it would have been very, very painful.

The relatives of mine that were lost in the Holocaust were actually on my maternal side.

My mom's father, his family was from right outside of Warsaw.

And again, I mean, he was...

I think, very removed from that part of his family.

It was almost like a shame nobody talked about.

He would have been devastated to have seen those papers, I'm sure.

Oh, I was very close with my grandmother, Dorothy.

She was a...

you know, fiercely independent woman.

She lived independently for forever.

She was like a safe haven for me.

I would escape to her apartment in Hell's Kitchen most weekends.
