Andrew Garfield cries over discovery of murdered relatives


Andrew Garfield broke down in tears as he visited the graves of his ancestors who were murdered in the Holocaust during his episode of the BBC’s Who Do You Think You Are?.

The actor, 41, explored his family history, including that of his great-grandfather who had escaped the Holocaust.

He travelled to Treblinka, the Nazi extermination camp in Poland, where he saw a memorial stone that commemorated Jews from Kielce who were murdered there.

Through tears, Garfield explained that Kielce was where his great-grandfather’s sisters fled to.

“This is a memorial stone for the Jews from Kielce that met their ultimate fate here in Treblinka which my great-grandfather’s three sisters we imagine had to have been murdered,” he added.
