A trip Jewish actor and playwright Jesse Eisenberg took to Poland years ago changed this perspective on the Holocaust and revealed a sense of guilt in him that inspired his second play, he told the the daily podcast \u201cThe Open Ears Project<\/a>\u201d<\/strong> <\/span>on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eisenberg, 36, said he traveled to Poland 12 years ago with his wife to meet a second cousin who survived World War II and still lives in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI visited my second cousin and just had this revelation juxtaposing my own kind of privilege in America and the lucky life I had compared to what she had gone through,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s probably very similar to a lot of American Jews in my generation, which is that you\u2019re kind of too far removed to have some kind of like survivor\u2019s guilt from the war, but it\u2019s such a part of your history and if you choose to engage with it you\u2019ll realize that you have a lot more engagement with it than you expected.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Eisenberg explained that his meeting with his relative, and seeing \u201cwhat she had lived through,\u201d led him to write his second play, \u201cThe Revisionist.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The play is about a young writer named David who arrives in Poland with writer\u2019s block and a desire to be left alone while his 75-year-old second cousin welcomes him with open arms and hopes to connect with her distant American family. \u201cAs their relationship develops, she reveals details about her postwar past that test their ideas of what it means to be a family,\u201d according to the play\u2019s website.<\/span><\/p>\n
