Send us Fan MailEp. 567 | Ordinary Heroes with Bernie Furshpan and Carolyn Enger on hmTvIn this moving episode of Ordinary Heroes on hmTv, host Bernie Furshpan welcomes international concert pianist Carolyn Enger for a powerful conversation about music, memory, identity, and the moral responsibility of sharing family history.Carolyn discusses her deeply personal performance piece, Mischling Exposé, recently presented at Molloy University, which explores the Nazi classification of Mischling through live piano, film, testimony, and the stories of her father and godmother, both of whom were targeted under the Nuremberg Laws. She reflects on how music can carry emotional truth in ways words sometimes cannot, helping audiences connect with history on a profoundly human level.Together, Bernie and Carolyn examine the false science of race, inherited trauma, Holocaust memory, the importance of empathy, and the power of art to erase the lines that divide us. Their conversation becomes a call to young people and all listeners to define their mission, stay aligned with their values, and use creativity, memory, and compassion to help heal the world. Support the show
