The next episode of the PBS show “Finding Your Roots” delves into the family histories of three prominent Jews: actor Jeff Goldblum, NPR host Terry Gross and comedian Marc Maron.

In this clip from the episode debuting on the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Maron reacts to learning about the hardships that his Jewish ancestors faced before World War II.

“The idea was, did anyone in our family die in the camps or did they have to flee, and the answer was always no. But they had to decades before,” Maron says, hinting at a tragic story to be revealed in the full episode.

We watched it last night. It was very good and discussed the "Pale of the Settlement" and pogroms. This is on PBS. Also, last week was Queen Latifah! All hail the Queen!
