In 2013 the BBC broadcast a programme in its popular TV series “Who Do You Think You Are?” In the series, celebrities are invited to delve into their family histories, guided by expert genealogists and subject specialists. The programme[1] featured the singer and actress Marianne Faithfull and threw a spotlight on Marianne’s late mother Eva, who had pursued a career as a dancer in Germany and Austria before the Second World War. Much new information came to light, thanks to the BBC’s researches, and more has emerged since.
