It obviously means a lot to me. I’m Jewish, my great-grandma survived the Holocaust. Being able to portray this story in the way I did, I feel it’s my best work ever.
He also added that, “seventy-two members of my family were murdered in the Holocaust,” as well as:
My great-grandmother went to the UK, she was raised British. My grandpa was from the Island [Vancouver Island]. My grandmother moved to Canada and met my grandpa. My grandmother didn’t really like the city and wanted to live in a smaller town.
