Episode 126 – “Raised by Survivors”
hmTv with Dr. Bernie Furshpan
How does the child of Holocaust survivors transform inherited trauma into a life-long mission for justice? In this powerful conversation, Dr. Bernie Furshpan sits down with Dr. Suzanne Bleiberg Seperson—UN representative, activist, and proud 2G—to explore:
- Identity & Legacy: why Suzanne keeps both “Bleiberg” and “Seperson” to carry her father’s name forward.
- Parents’ Survival Stories: a daring jump from a death-train, an escape from Janovska labor camp, and the righteous gentiles who risked everything to help.
- Act III Activism: how retirement became her busiest chapter—chairing the Committee to End Antisemitism & Promote Peace and pushing for the UN’s first resolution condemning Jew-hatred.
- Intergenerational Healing: turning a childhood without grandparents into a devotion to her own six grandchildren—and to every young person who deserves a hate-free world.
- Call to Action: why each of us must use our unique talents “for good,” and how even symbolic victories (a pebble in a pond, a butterfly’s wing) can ripple into global change.
Listen in for an inspiring reminder that memory fuels responsibility—and that raising our voices together can still turn the tide against antisemitism and all forms of hate.
