  • Hi, it's Daniel Lombroso, the director of "Nina & Irena." I've devoted my career to exposing far-right extremism, beginning with my feature film, "White Noise," where I spent four years embedded with white nationalists. Now, I turn the camera on my own family and their survival in the Holocaust. Sadly, the film feels more relevant than ever. Ask me anything!

I hold my grandparents traumatic childhood stories and war experiences in the same way.

Wisdom is not born out of the happy unchallenging times. The parting words of grandparents ring truer and louder in our ears the closer we get to their age.

The West has been so naive allowing so many people of a certain religion, and others into their countries without serious vetting. A strong civilization just doesn't hold up, if so many that want to destroy it are allowed in.

  • I understand completely why she didn't talk about it.. Talking isn't going to change anything. Sometimes events are so horrible the only way to keep going is to push it away. I completely understand that. If you dwell on something so inhumane, it seems to me, you'd just be angry. My question would have been, "How are you not angry?", but she answered that for me. It happened. There's nothing that can be done about that so move on. I wish I had someone to tell me to guit being a baby about it and just move on. Grandmothers are precious. You're lucky you had forethought enough to record her.
