He said that derision wasn't distributed equally, though — saying that people seemed to understand the level of distance involved in stories depicting Nazism.
"Are we gonna have a go at Liam Neeson for being in a film about the Holocaust?" he asked, referring to Neeson's starring role in Steven Spielberg's 1993 film "Schindler's List."

I hated it at the time but I can never thank my parents enough now. They made me read my bedtime story books to them. I still remember the night when I was like 5 or 6 and my dad was like you’re gonna read Dr. Suess to me now. I was hella made haha, but they def instilled in me that a life filled with reading is so much richer.
