Ruby Wax's Jewish parents fled Vienna and the Nazis for America in 1938. 'They took the war with them and brought it to our kitchen,' says the comedian and mental-health campaigner at the start of this remarkable episode.
They raised their only daughter in a dramatically dysfunctional household - Ruby's father was volatile and her mother 'hysterical... screaming in the street.' Ruby wonders if her own mental illness had its origins in her upbringing and the trauma her parents went through, or whether it is in her family's genes.
Ruby journeys to central Europe, where she learns about her parents' flight and the distressing fate of family who remained in Vienna during the war, and she makes a startling discovery about her great-aunt and great-grandmother, which is both harrowing and surprisingly affirming.

I think her dad didnt tell her anything bad about his time in prison because he didnt want his daughter to know about what he suffered maybe he couldnt talk about it cause it was too painful to remember and talk about.

I had no idea whom Ruby Wax is, but I am now very glad to know. I stress very heavily to everyone with family photos to write who the people are on the back of their photos - and the year / location if known. It makes me sad to come across old "orphaned" family photographs in thrift stores - no one knows their identities. 🖼️

My grandad fought the Japanese in Burma and refused to talk about it .All he would say was he will never buy anything made by those bastards. The wartime generation went through hell but never ever spoke of their suffering

@nancyhuffman5802 14 дней назад

I understand why they probably didn't mention their horrific experience because they didn't want their children to suffer too. My father was a POW and never talked about it with his children. It was his friends who told me some of the stories about what they went through. They felt they survived because of mybdad.

I do wonder how anyone could be so naive about the Holocaust. Is that an American thing? I learned about so young as a Canadian.

@Commenting-answering 14 дней назад

We learned about it too. Ms. Wax seems to have issues poor woman. Her parents were obviously disturbed.

@melissabakewell2433 10 дней назад

An American thing? Really? You’re basing one woman’s personal journey of her family history for a whole country’s knowledge? Is that a Canadian thing?

@TheAmtwhite 10 дней назад

@@melissabakewell2433 No the assumption that American's are not very knowledgable about the rest of the world, or world history, is a Canadian (and worldwide) thing.

"Do you think he was scared"? Ruby comes across as absolutely batsh@t crazy.

@_WILDANDFREE_ 13 дней назад

One has to wonder why they would put a context comment on what the Holocaust is. Any thinking person could easily look it up. The context comment here makes no sense.

There was no invasion. The Austrians were welcoming of the Nazis. It was called the Anschluss. This poor woman seems to know nothing about the Holocaust. She has trauma, even if she did not know their past. Many people don't pass on this type of personal history.
