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.

“Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters “woman’s peculiar sphere,” her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
“... feminism is a political term and it must be recognized as such: it is political in women’s terms. What are these terms? Essentially it means making connections: between personal power and economic power, between domestic oppression and labor exploitation, between plants and chemicals, feelings and theories; it means making connections between our inside worlds and the outside world.”
—Anica Vesel Mander, U.S. author and feminist, and Anne Kent Rush (b. 1945)
“Shall life succeed in that it seems to fail:
What I aspired to be,
And was not, comforts me:”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
