Leo Pearlman I am Leo Pearlman, born in Sunderland, living in London. I am a partner at production company Fulwell 73, where we make content including “Carpool Karaoke” and “Cinderella.” I am a husband, a father, a son and a brother.

Of the 32 who stayed, most died in Auschwitz. None survived. My grandmother spent the next 75 years of her life repeating the mantra “Never Again.” That was now ninety years ago yet the generational trauma persists.
