Iliza Shlesinger discovers a story her family never shared, the tragic death of her great-grandmother's brother at Auschwitz during the Holocaust. Another sibling escaped Poland, then survived Nazi occupied France. Meanwhile, military service brought Iliza's grandfather to France, near struggling family he may not have known.

Iliza Shlesinger is an award-winning comedian, actor, writer, producer and author, selling out theaters around the globe with a devoted fan base who are known for creating their own Iliza-inspired swag to wear to her shows. Her Hard Feelings world tour, featuring all new material, kicks off Summer 2023, and she can currently be seen guest starring on Season 3 of HBO’s The Righteous Gemstones.

In 2022, Iliza released her 6th Netflix stand-up special Hot Forever and her second book All Things Aside. She coined the term "Elder Millennial" in her eponymous stand up special Elder Millennial (2018), which is also the subject of Iliza Shlesinger: Over & Over, her “fan-u-mentary” which took audiences behind-the-scenes of her life on tour. Her other stand-up specials are Unveiled (2019), Confirmed Kills (2016), Freezing Hot (2015) and War Paint (2013).This program is made possible by viewers like you.
