In October 2007, Serafinowicz dropped his attempt to use the Human Rights Act to prevent the publication of details revealing his grandfather was the first man in Britain to go on trial for Nazi war crimes under the 1991 War Crimes Act. Szymon Serafinowicz Sr., was charged with allegedly murdering three Jews while a police chief during the Nazi-occupation of his native Belarus in the Second World War. In 1997, the jury found Serafinowicz Sr. unfit for trial on grounds of dementia; he died later that year.
