His parents

“My father arrived in 1922--he was one of six or seven brothers all of whom were killed by the Nazis except my father, who was the only one who was annoyed enough, irritated enough, by European nonsense to leave Europe and come to America. And his brothers and all the members of his family were killed by the Germans. So, growing up I was made well aware of Nazis and Nazi attitudes towards Jews, and was made well aware of Jewish problems. “ – George Segal
