Listen to this profound episode of Conversations with Alan featuring Marc Bennett and Tim Roper, the producers and co-directors of the powerful documentary For the Living.


Marc and Tim take us on a journey through humanity’s most essential question: When will we truly say "NEVER AGAIN" and commit to ending the cycle of dehumanization?


For the Living tells the incredible story of Marcel Zielinski, a 10-year-old Holocaust survivor who, after escaping Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1945, walked 60 miles through a war zone in search of his surviving family. His journey was later honored by the Ride for the Living cycling event, where 250 cyclists traced Marcel’s path as a tribute to his resilience and a call to action for nurturing empathy and compassion.


Marc and Tim’s film urges us to reflect on how we can re-humanize in an era marked by dehumanization. How do we shift from memorializing the dead to reawakening compassion for the living?

I was honored to have Alon Penzel with us to discuss his compelling new book, Testimonies Without Boundaries: Israel: October 7th, 2023.

This discussion will honor the memories of those lost while celebrating the heroism of the people of Israel.
