The first episode includes footage of Gene facing his childhood demons and his mother’s tragic past while visiting the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam.
Simmons rarely speaks about his mother’s harsh survival from the Nazi concentration camps during WWII. His mother and Anne Frank were approximately the same age when they went into concentration camps and seeing how Anne lived hits very, very close to home for Gene.
HLN's Joy Behar talked with Simmons about his mother surviving the Nazi regime and his visit to the Anne Frank House; the video includes a sneak peek at the first episode of the new season.
