Second generation HOLOCAUST and CONCENTRATION CAMP survivors | Episode 71

Max J. Friedman realized early in life that the world he lived in was very different from what most others his age would ever experience. He was born in Sweden to Sam and Frieda, Polish-Jewish parents who met and married there after their liberation from Bergen-Belsen and then emigrated to the US in 1952. Max and his sister learned very little from their parents about their parents' lives before WWII or what they had gone through during the Holocaust, and much of what they did learn from them, it would turn out, did not really happen. What was real were their parents years of ghettos, slave labor, and concentration camps like Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen, which Sam and Frieda endured while suffering the horrific loss of their families: spouses, parents, siblings, and children. Max's family experienced the after-effects that flow from parents who have survived such horrors. When it came time to care for their elderly survivor parents, Max and his sister well understood that they too would have to become survivors. This book is the story of this family's journey of discovery, transformation and acceptance.   00:00:00 An intro to Max Friedman 00:01:00 Second-Generation Holocaust Survivor 00:05:27 Bergen Belsen 00:10:09 Parent Second Family 00:17:16 “Holocaust is not REAL” 00:20:41 Antisemitic hate groups 00:23:51 Amsterdam Publishers 00:26:10 Wrapping Up   Max Friedman’s Links:   Website: https://amsterdampublishers.com/books/painful-joy/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/max.friedman.56 LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/max-friedman-927629/ Links to The Bookaholic   Remember to subscribe to the podcast – Apple, Spotify, Google, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
