Ep. 237 – Raised by Survivors with Sophal Ear
In this powerful episode of Raised by Survivors on hmTv, host Bernie Furshpan sits down with Dr. Sophal Ear, Cambodian-American scholar, author, and survivor of the Khmer Rouge regime. Together, they explore Sophal’s family’s extraordinary escape, the hidden heroes who made survival possible, and the intergenerational impact of genocide.
The conversation weaves personal history with broader lessons—parallels between the Holocaust and Cambodia’s genocide, the dangers of authoritarianism, and the role of education and empathy in building resilience. Sophal also shares the story behind his acclaimed TED Talk, the importance of carrying his mother’s legacy forward, and his vision for how young people can transform inherited trauma into leadership and hope.
This episode reminds us that “never again” is not just a phrase—it’s a call to action for every generation.
