Raised by Survivors – Episode 49: Legacies of Strength and Laughter
Hosts: Bernie Furshpan & Alan Mindel
Platform: hmTv | Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center
Description:
In this powerful and deeply personal third installment of Raised by Survivors, Bernie Furshpan and Alan Mindel share stories of resilience, humor, and fierce family devotion passed down from their Holocaust survivor parents. From surviving in the forests of Eastern Europe to building successful lives in America, their parents instilled values of hard work, loyalty, and the sacred importance of family.
The conversation touches on childhood lessons, cultural identity, comedic inspiration, and the struggles—and joys—of growing up as a second-generation survivor (2G). Whether it’s a story about a father flipping a gun on a mobster or a mother defending her husband’s word like a lioness, this episode is both emotionally rich and surprisingly funny.
Bernie and Alan explore how survivor strength shaped their careers, relationships, and perspectives—and what it means to carry that legacy into the next generation.
