David Suchet, Jerry Springer and all the rest.

I am so sorry for what has happened to the Jews over 2000 years. Is it only me? I really don't understand why any one group of people should have been persecuted for so long.

Yes its unbelievable isnt it .......

And even now we look and know of them in that very manner ...........

The programme was very interesting i thought this week

What manner do you look at them Kemp?

Thanks for your comment, Kemp. Karrie, i was wondering the same thing.....

this weeks programme gave me hope that I may one day find my ancestors in Poland, Austrai & russia.. maybe the records are still there

I have really loved this series... what an eye-opener... and a reminder, that no matter how British we feel, our ancestry might show some heritage that is truly richer and more multi-cultural than we might expect. What a wonderful tapestry to be woven into!

Love

I have a (formerly) Polish friend, she would like to look back too. It does look as if the records are there.

I enjoyed tonight, as i have them all, Helen,

I'm not Jewish, nor have I studied R.E. However, it makes me so sad. I hope our younger generations are taking notice and learning. We talk about it in our house.

I think it would be very difficult without a professional genealogist in the foreign country.. or without wdytya..

there is still a lot of anti-semitsm around the world unfortunately...

Is there? Why?

Do these programmes not make anyone else cross?

I get really frustrated that these 'famous' people are having their family history handed to them on a plate, no expense spared, whilst us mere mortals have to do all the hard work ourselves and pay for the priviledge.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the thrill of the search and discovery as much as anything else, I just wish someone would pay for it for me!!!! Hee Hee

Karen i suppose its the same as the famous people in Strictly Come Dancing or Celebrity Masterchef.. it makes more people watch..

There is Helen.. lots of Jewish cemeteries are being desecrated in Europe

Karen, I do what I can for my friends, however I couldn't do the research that these programmes generate.

I would love someone to do mine!

Its not too bad doing the research in this country but for Eastern Europe or Russia, I think you really need to go there

I wanna dance with Anton Du Beke, but that's not gonna happen either I guess!

Karrie, that is unbelievable. No-one has yet managed to explain to me why...thank-you for your help, don't mean to criticise you!!!

oh Helen i didnt think you were critising me lol


why it happens is beyond me

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the programmes, and everytime I watch I just get myself wound up!

On the up side tho' it does make me more determined to find out more about the skeletons in my family closet!!!
