Follow Dr. Bernie Furshpan, son of Holocaust survivor Moshe Furshpan, as he travels the country educating younger generations. Through a powerful blend of historical fact and personal testimony, Bernie shares his family’s story of survival to inspire action against hatred and its devastating consequences. Bernie delivers a powerful message for new generations to stand against intolerance with a sense of urgency.

The Weight of Memory: I Am Bernie Furshpan is not just a documentary; it’s a movement. It is a demand for awareness, empathy, and action. As Bernie reminds us, we have a choice. We can be silent, or we can stand up. We can let history repeat itself or change the course of the future.
