GLEN COVE, NY — In honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center (HMTC) has a special event scheduled.

Second-generation Holocaust survivor Dr. Bernie Furshpan, whose parents were born in Poland and endured unimaginable losses before emigrating to Israel, will share his family's powerful story.

Furshpan was born in Israel, raised in Brooklyn and has lived on Long Island since he was in college.

The Jan. 26 event features an excerpt from the acclaimed film "Shoah."
