Israeli "Wonder Woman" Gal Gadot Moved to Tears After Finding Video of Her Grandfather on Holocaust Remembrance Day"He affected me a lot. After all the horrors he'd seen, he was like this damaged bird, but he was always hopeful and positive and full of love. If I was raised in a place where these values were not so strong, things would be different. But it was very easy for me to relate to everything that Wonder Woman stands for ... I miss you Saba. I love you." -Gil Gadot
In an Instagram post last Thursday including the video, Gadot said she had spent the previous night looking for a photo of her grandfather, when her assistant showed her the video, according to an article in The Times of Israel newspaper. "She had no idea [that it was] Holocaust Remembrance Day, and didn't know I was looking for a photo of him/us all night," wrote Gadot, who in the video can be seen touching her grandfather's face. Gadot said she was brought to tears by the video, which she had never seen before. "And as I think of you today, at this very moment of remembrance, which is also a call for all of us to act against discrimination of any kind. Anywhere in the world," said Gadot.
Thursday, April 12, was Israel's national Holocaust Remembrance Day, known as Yom HaShoah, which marks the murder of six million Jews by the Nazis during World War II. In an interview with Rolling Stone in August, Gadot spoke of the influence her grandfather had on her. "His entire family was murdered—it's unthinkable," Gadot said of Weiss, who was a teenager in Czechoslovakia during the Holocaust. "He affected me a lot. After all the horrors he'd seen, he was like this damaged bird, but he was always hopeful and positive and full of love. If I was raised in a place where these values were not so strong, things would be different. But it was very easy for me to relate to everything that Wonder Woman stands for," she said in the interview.
