dot - although Leonard Sachs does have a son who is an actor (Robin), he is not related to Andrew Sachs (born 1930 in Berlin of German Jewish descent).

Andrew's family escaped Nazi Germany in 1938 - after his father, who had been arrested by the Nazis, was released just days before the Kristallnacht.
