He only found out that he had jewish ancestry a week or so ago... His mother had actually been secretive about it and her families horrible life during ww2.
According to his mother, he found out sometime in the latter half of August. His mother has now publicly stated that she was raised as a Jew and concealed the fact from Allen's father. Unfortunately this makes a liar out of Allen, because he stated that as far as he knew his mother was raised as a Christian. By the time he made that statement, three or four weeks had passed since he learned the truth.
