Certain popular students targeted less popular ones, including myself, who had low status in school.” He also acknowledged his Orthodox Jewish heritage.
Spielberg called the maltreatment shame rather than hate. He said, “I felt shame rather than hate. Through constant teasing and torment, they made me embarrassed of my Jewish ancestry.

Steven Spielberg Family
The director met Kate Capshaw in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.” Capshaw converted to Judaism before their October 12, 1991 wedding. Steven said his marriage to Capshaw revived his Jewish ancestry. “Kate is Protestant, but she insisted on converting to Judaism. Before we married in 1991, she studied for a year, had the ‘mikveh’ rite, and converted.
“She chose to fully embrace Judaism before becoming my wife, and I believe that more than anything else, she brought me closer to my Jewish identity,” Steven added. Her effect on their family’s spirituality is credited. Pacific Palisades, California, and East Hampton, New York, are their homes.
