LOU REED.

Lewis Allan Reed was born in Brooklyn, NY into a middle-class Jewish family, had relations in Israel and visited the country a handful of times over the last two decades. In 2010, Reed made a short film called "Red Shirley" which was about his 99-year-old aunt Shirley Novick and her experiences fleeing Poland and the Nazis during World War II. She arrived in New York, found work as a seamstress and much later she would march in Washington in support of the civil rights movement. “I realized if I didn’t do this, a connection to a lot of things would be lost forever,” Reed told The Wall Street Journal in 2011.
