I guess I should start a new topic as there are likely to be some comments following the program tonight at 9pm.

Anna

So did I  Cry  Wise words from the lady from the museum in Belarus about personalising history though!

I thought at the beginning though that never mind collecting generations of names, far more exciting actually finding out about the lives of your ancestors even fathers.  How many of us know what our parents got up to when they were younger, really??

I did watch, but thought it was a bit of a strange programme...

Whereas previous peeps have been completely amazed by what was uncovered, I didn't think that she was completely surprised...my guess is that she already knew about a lot of the WW2 attrocities involving her family etc...

The Apothecary part of her Mother's side sounded interesting, - perhaps that could have been investigated further?

I agree Natasha was not completely surprised - she must have known that the story would involve Nazi horrors.  Several of my Jewish friends know that much about their families but (perhaps mercifully) not the detail.  Still, I think she was genuinely moved by what she learned - who wouldn't be?

What really finished me off was the haunting singing of Benny Kaplinsky in the ruined synagogue - breathing life and prayer and music back into those 15th century walls after decades of silence.  Amazing.

The leech bit made me close my eyes ... ugh !

But as you say, the singing in the ruined synagogue did for me ... its so good to know that old, ruined places of worship still have the power to move people like that; to allow then to feel free enough to express their faith.  

I agree that I think Natasha knew quite a lot about the holocaust ... but her tears were genuine enough.




(As an aside, Tintern Abbey in the Wye Valley this coming Sunday at 3 will be having their annual service of vespers ... again, such a moving experience to be there seeing the ruins used for what they were used for so long ago ...)

I cried too. This is one of those programmes that will stay with me. Funny how some of them never go away and others are totally forgettable.

Still trying to decide which was my all-time favourite from the previous series. What do other people think?

Oh that singing in the ruined synagogue.............can anyone tell me what it was?    Was it a prayer for the dead?   So moving.

Tonights was very interesting, very sad had me in tears but gave a true insight into the Jewish families.

Hope they carry on being as good.

I too enjoyed the programme

I think like most of you Natasha would know quite a lot about her family background

It was sad when  her cousin sang so  beautifully

in the old church
