'My grandmother was the strongest woman I knew and I get choked up every time I talk about her'

As Alex Borstein of"The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" accepted the Emmy for best supporting actress, she shared a story of how her grandmother survived the Holocaust.

Borstein said she was dedicating her win"to the strength of a woman. To ['The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' creator] Amy Sherman-Palladino, to every woman on the 'Maisel' cast and crew" -- as well as to her mother and her grandmother, who she said lived through the Holocaust. Borstein said her grandmother survived by turning to a guard when"she was in line to be shot into a pit."

"She said, 'What happens if I step out of line?' And he said, 'I don't have the heart to shoot you, but somebody will,'" Borstein said."And she stepped out of line. And for that I am here, and for that my children are here. So step out of line, ladies." Borstein, for the second year in a row, won the Emmy for best supporting actress in a comedy series for her role as manager Susie Myerson on Amazon's"The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.""My grandmother was the strongest woman I knew and I get choked up every time I talk about her," Borstein said."She was an amazing person and an amazing story, and focusing on the strength of women now and how we've come a long way, and it's bulls--t. They've always been there.
