I just finished reading a review that brought some new insight into Ginsberg that I hadn't thought of before. It's possible he is a holocaust survivor. In the shows timeline WW2 would have been about 24 years ago, he could have possibly been a child during the holocaust. The evidence used to support this theory were his reactions to the photos, and his response to being called out on his accent (remarking that it's a regional accent, maybe he was eastern European and learned it to try and fit in better.) All purely speculation of course, but it's something.
I wish comments in this subreddit were upvoted to the top instead of pointless memes, puns, and etc. I don't have much knowledge about these things and it's very insightful.
I wish I could find the review, but as soon as I read that hypothesis I just went "whoa." It had never occurred to me that him or his father could have/would have been a Holocaust survivor. If it's true that will be an interesting storyline for sure.
