Jewish Family Search researcher featured in Swedish TV Show

Swedish TV Show

On 14th of October 2013 the Swedish public television, SVT, broadcasted  the 4th episode of Vem tror du att du är? (Do you know who you are?), a TV show on famous people looking for their ancestor. The 4th episode was dedicated to Alexandra Rapaport, a famous  theatre actress whose ancestors lived in Lviv. We were happy to contribute to the show: Vladyslava from Jewish Family Search researched Alexandra’s great-grandfather, a local rabbi, Moishe Rapaport. She is featured in the last part of the film when Alexandra Rapaport finally arrives to Lviv.

Lada & Tomasz
