Andrew’s episode will air in the UK on BBC One at 9pm on Tuesday 22 April.
Andrew is a joint US and British citizen and his father’s family were Polish Jews who emigrated to the UK.

Multitude Media, the producers of Who Do You Think You Are?, said: “Like several movie plot lines rolled into one, Andrew’s family history is a story of terrible tragedy and suffering, but also of survival, success and the redemptive quality of art.”
