Edwin de Vries' vader, die eveneens acteur was, kwam uit een a-religieus maar wel bewust joods gezin en maakte in de oorlog deel uit van een verzetsgroep. 'De ontwikkeling van mijn joodse bewustzijn is vergelijkbaar met die van Chaja: ik rebelleerde, maakte deel uit van de studentenbeweging en sprak net als iedereen over de revolutie. Ik heb nog meegedaan aan de bezetting van het Maagdenhuis. Pas door Leedvermaak van Judith Herzberg werd ik mij bewust van mijn eigen joods-zijn.'

That fixture was a special one for De Ridder, who is Jewish and has an Israeli mother.
  50. Cabot-Kerkdijk, Daniel. "Interview met Daniël de Ridder". voetbalzone.nl (in Dutch). Veel Ajax-supporters hebben de behoefte om zichzelf joods te noemen, maar de geuzennaam wordt als kwetsend en onnodig ervaren door de club. Wat vindt jij daarvan? - Het is meer een politieke kwestie en ook al ben ik Joods, ik heb daar weinig over te zeggen.
