Episode 222 – Raised by Survivors with Esther Muller
In this heartfelt and often humorous episode of Raised by Survivors, host Dr. Bernie Furshpan welcomes visionary educator, real estate leader, and fellow child of Holocaust survivors, Esther Muller, for an unforgettable conversation about resilience, memory, and the power of legacy.
Together, they explore their shared roots—both born in Israel, raised in Brooklyn, and shaped by parents who endured the horrors of Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, and the emotional aftershocks of survival. Esther shares raw stories of her family’s journey: her mother’s courage, her father’s quiet strength, and the resilience that allowed her to build a meaningful life—and raise a son who now leads as CEO of The Gap.
Packed with wit, wisdom, and powerful reflections, this episode reminds us that trauma doesn’t just echo—it also inspires. From matzo ball mishaps to sacred memories, Esther and Bernie show how humor, purpose, and moral courage can carry forward the stories that must never be forgotten.
