Who Do You Think You Are? - Marianne Faithful

Marianne Faithfull's episode of Series 10, like others in this series, focussed on recent history and generations.

This episode showed the effects that the events of the twentieth century - particularly the 1930s and 1940s, had on ordinary people. It also showed the horrendous nature of what people went through for being Jewish or half-Jewish, or showing resistance to something that was wrong.

Marianne's family history helped her to understand more about the people her mother and grandmother were, and how events that happened before she was born could have such a long-lasting effect, even on her own life.
