 ???   we all were once !



I enjoyed this one ... it had what we expect of a TV genealogy programme; the paper-work and the foreign visits !   Even just a few tears !


The Jewish pogroms and persecution was terrible.   But Zoe was lucky to be able to find a family grave ...

I've always loved Zoe in her acting roles.

It was lovely to see her just as sensitive in real life. And what a fascinating line we followed. :)

My favourite of all so far.

Thanks acceber (again I believe) for the heads-up.

Pleased to see Zoe remembered to put a stone on the grave.

I agree that this was the best episode of the (short) series so far. Having said that i cant wait to see what the unearth for Kwvin Whately next week in the final episode.

it's just such a shame that this series is getting shorter and shorter - its one of the highlights of my week!

Is the custom of putting a stone on a grave a Jewish one?  I have seen references to it before but I'm not sure where.  ???

I agree that her Grandfather's life story was a wonderful (interesting and useful) document to have.  If only...

Hi Kate *waves hello*

Its only a film reference i know, but i saw the holocaust survivors do this in the movie Schindlers List. At the end of the film, all the people Oscar Schindler saved that were still alive, filed past his grave and laid a stone on the grave to remember him by. I am pretty sure that this is a jewish tradition.

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode - not only because there was more emphasis on the research - but also because of Zoe's reactions to the various revelations. I like the idea of leaving a stone on the grave when you visit it. I may adopt this custom myself.
