A few decades after Max J. Friedman's parents died, his grandson wanted to understand more about the family, including his grandparents, a pair of Holocaust survivors who met in a Swedish refugee camp. Friedman realized he knew very little about who his parents really were, especially about their lives before they met one another. They never spoke of their lives before the Holocaust and very little even about the Holocaust years. He was determined to find out and ended up discovering, after a 5-year, multi-nation search, who they really were — and who he had become as a result. Join us as Gabe and Max discuss his writing journey and what lessons can be found from the Holocaust for society today. To learn more -- or read the transcript -- visit the official episode page. Our Guest, Max Friedman, has been telling the stories of others for his whole career — as a journalist, publicist, corporate editorial director, and book ghostwriter. He finally got to share his story by penning a stirring family memoir, Painful Joy: A Holocaust Family Memoir (Amsterdam Publishers). Early in his career, he held a variety of positions in the communications field, ranging from newspaper and magazine journalism (with articles featured in the The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, TV Guide, and elsewhere) to serving as director of editorial services at Channel 13, New York's public television station as well as the unit publicist for Bill Moyers Journal.  At Bristol-Myers Squibb for two decades as vice president of communications, he was primarily responsible for the company's global internal communications efforts. He joined the company in 1983 and his work there included speechwriting, employee publications, development and oversight of the company's internet site, brochures, multimedia presentations, corporate advertising, video production, the company's intranet efforts — including a webzine — and its annual report to shareholders.  He also worked in publishing as an advertising copywriter with Macmillan, in the government (as a spokesman and editor at the Environmental Protection Agency), in education as a grant proposal writer for the City University of New York and in public relations, as an account executive with Ruder & Finn (now Ruder Finn). He holds a BA in English and Asian Studies from Columbia College and a master's degree in Journalism from the University of California at Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. Max and his wife, Jennifer, a reference librarian, live in Larchmont, New York. They raised twin boys and have two grandchildren, one of whom lives in China.

He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author.

"Painful Joy" is a book published in April 2022 and available on Amazon, represents five years of intensive research in the U.S., Poland, Sweden, Israel and Germany, by author Max Friedman, as he seeks to unearth and understand the real life stories of his parents, Sam and Frieda, two poor Polish Jews.

Part memoir, part genealogical mystery and part history, the book is an absorbing, heartwarming and, at times, heartbreaking saga as readers accompany the author on his extraordinary exploration of the complicated relationship between two Holocaust survivors who meet in Sweden after their liberation from Bergen-Belsen, and experience the "painful joy" of a love too often touched by death. It explores questions of survival, the ability to reimagine memories in order to deal with the truth, and what it was like growing up in a world that was never to be "normal."

Host Cyrus Webb welcomes author Max Friedman to #ConversationsLIVE to discuss what it was like writing PAINFUL JOY---and what he hopes readers take away from it. 

https://youtu.be/BZWeWgip9VA A few decades after Max J. Friedman's parents died, his grandson asked to know more about Friedman's parents, a pair of Holocaust survivors who met in a Swedish refugee camp and came to America to start over. Friedman realized he knew very little of who his parents really were, especially about their lives before they met one another. They never spoke of their lives before the Holocaust and very little even about the Holocaust years. He was determined to find out and ended up discovering, after a five-year, multi-nation search, who they really were – and who he had become as a result. “My parents had a marriage that existed out of death and despair,” says Max Friedman, 72, a resident of Larchmont, New York, and the author of Painful Joy: A Holocaust Family Memoir. “They were each married when World War II broke out in Poland. Their entire families were murdered, including my mom's first husband and my father's first wife, and their two young daughters. My parents found each other after they had lost everything – but all was not love and happiness for them as they struggled to move beyond their lives as victims.” World War II killed, injured, displaced, and destroyed well over 100 million people, including the lives of six million Jews during the Holocaust. But the suffering for those Holocaust survivors did not end with the war's conclusion nor did it evade the next generation. Friedman, too, is a survivor, and his book reveals a powerful, poignant, and insightful story. “This book is about two people who survive the unsurvivable and then, wounded in too many ways, find love, but not redemption, discover hope, but not without suffering greatly, and search for peace, but too often in all the wrong places,” says Friedman. “It seeks to unravel their lives and answer questions: What were their lives like before the Holocaust? Who and what could they have become? How indeed did they survive when so few came out the other side? These universal questions rarely have simple answers, if any at all. Painful Joy explores what was and what might have been and in so doing, seeks to restore the humanity of those who lost too much to bear.” Painful Joy represents five years of intensive research in the U.S., Poland, Sweden, Israel and Germany, seeking to unearth the real-life stories of two people in order to discover their roots, recreate their lives and times and uncover both their remarkable journeys and painful secrets. Part memoir, part genealogical mystery and part history, the book is an absorbing, heartwarming and, at times, heartbreaking tale as readers accompany the author on his extraordinary exploration of the complicated relationship between two Holocaust survivors who meet in Sweden after their liberation from the notorious Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, relocated to America, and experience the "painful joy" of a love too often touched by death, pain, and anguish.

Join Max Friedman, a former PBS employee and a former publicist for Bill Moyers Journal, this Saturday, May 13, 2023! Max sits down with Off The Shelf Books' host, Denise Turney, to discuss his book "Painful Joy". The book is based in-part, on his parents, Polish Holocaust survivors who lost everyone in their families during the war, survived the camps and then met and married in Sweden. As is his personality, Max's writing is engaging, insightful and entertaining.  Prior to writing "Painful Joy", Max authored two memoirs: one of Charles A. Heimbold, Jr., a retired pharmaceutical company CEO ("A Life Lived Full," 2015) and the other of his wife, Monika Heimbold, a retired clinical social worker and a co-founder with Queen Silvia of Sweden of the World Childhood Foundation that focuses on child trafficking and exploitation ("Designing a Life," 2016).

Matt Crawford speaks with author Max Friedman about his book, Painful Joy: A Holocaust Family Memoir. Both of Friedman's parents lost their spouses and children in the Holocaust before finding each other. Those experiences shaped them in way that were irrevocable and damaging, but how can a child in that household grasp these intricacies? This book is about Max going back and researching his parent's stories to get a better grasp on what they survived and to understand them. Despite everything they went through, both managed to find their version of love and bring two children into this world. This is their story and I hope you will read it.

Max Friedman has spent his career uncovering and writing about the lives of others, but with his newly released book, he turns the focus onto his own family's past. Painful Joy tells the story of Max's parents, Sam and Frieda, who were Holocaust survivors that met and married after their liberation from the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.   His parents' experiences during the Holocaust shaped their family life—and Max spent much of his life avoiding their traumatic past. It was only five years ago when Max decided to delve deeper into his family's history. Upon doing so, he discovered the little his parents had told him provided only fragmented glimpses into their complex past.   Painful Joy delves into the true story of Max's parents and the lasting impact of trauma on their family. Join us as Max shares his journey of writing this book, uncovering his family's past, and the transformative power of storytelling.   We discussed:   What led Max to uncover the history of his parents' past as Holocaust survivors (and why he avoided it at first) The profound impact of trauma and what it means to be a survivor How Max found peace in his exploration of his parents' past and how it changed him The magic of a published book and a newfound understanding of his family The transformative power of a completed journey for book readers   Connect with Max   Painful Joy on Amazon http://www.maxfriedman.net Max Friedman on LinkedIn   Painful Joy on Amsterdam Publishers  

Max Friedman is an author, retired corporate communicator, memoir writer, and second generation Holocaust survivor. His book titled “Painful Joy: A Holocaust Family Memoir,” is part memoir, part genealogical mystery, and part history, which explores the complicated relationship between two holocaust survivors, who experience the painful joy of a love touched by death.  Max shares how both his father and mother survived the unthinkable horror of the Holocaust, spending several years being imprisoned in concentration camps. During that time, his father's wife and two young daughters were murdered at Auschwitz. His mother's husband, parents, and most of her family were also murdered as well. His parents met in Sweden after the liberation, and they fell in love, had two children, and eventually immigrated to America.    Max explains how difficult it was to live in a family where both parents were haunted by the war and the atrocities they experienced and somehow managed to survive. He shares how he and his sister grew up in a dysfunctional household, where each of the four family members struggled to deal with the past by creating their own fantasies. It wasn't until his grandson asked him what it meant to be a survivor that Max went on a quest to see what really happened to his parents. This launched the beginning of a journey which was full of surprises, tears, pain, and understanding of what his parents and each of the individuals murdered in the Holocaust went through, and how it still impacts their descendants to this day.

Max shares with us his perspective on the importance of remembering and honoring the victims of the Holocaust, and why we need to continue to tell these stories. This is a powerful and moving conversation that will leave you with a deeper understanding of the Holocaust and its ongoing impact on the world today. Books mentioned:Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present by Ruth Ben-GhiatIt Rained Warm Bread by  Gloria Moskowitz-Sweet and Hope Anita Smith Night by Elie Wiesel Schindler's List by Thomas Keneally ____________There are 4 ways you can help support the channel!-Like and subscribe!-I'm now a bookshop.org affiliate - check out my shop and find your next great read! https://bookshop.org/shop/bookshelfodyssey  -Buy me a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/bookshelfpod  - My Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2PTGNQWISVZE/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_3 _____________Find Me Online: Podcast: https://bookshelfodyssey.buzzsprout.com/  Voxer: @artbookshelfodyssey  Discord: https://discord.gg/8MFceV2NFe    Facebook Group Page: @thebookshelfodyssey Twitter: @odyssey_podcastInstagram: @bookshelfodysseypodcast____________ There are 4 ways you can help support the channel! -Like and subscribe!-I'm now a bookshop.org affiliate - check out my shop and find your next great read! https://bookshop.org/shop/bookshelfodyssey -Buy me a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/bookshelfpod - My Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2PTGNQWISVZE/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_3 _____________ Find Me Online: Podcast: https://bookshelfodyssey.buzzsprout.com/ Voxer: @artbookshelfodyssey Discord: https://discord.gg/8MFceV2NFe Facebook Group Page: @thebookshelfodyssey Twitter: @odyssey_podcastInstagram: @bookshelfodysseypodcast

I drove to Wauwatosa, Wisconsin to talk to Max, my first friend in comedy. I met Max at an open mic 6 years ago and we were close ever since. In 2018, I moved to NYC and around the same time, Max quit comedy. Now Max works as a Certified Nursing Assistant and hopes to become a Physician's Assistant. We talk about what comedy meant to him, how standup affects your ego and ambition, and what his plans are for the future.   Please do me a personal favor and rate the podcast on Apple Podcasts! I will shoutout the five star reviews during my next intro to the pod. Drop a question in the review and I will answer it on air!

Max Friedman is so humble, well-spoken, and a very genuine person. Bryan recalls how Allen Gannett was such an inspiration in his journey and how he has also been a huge part of Bryan's journey as well. Allen believed in Max from day one and saw his potential and helped him foster this over the course of 4 years. Max has really grown as a leader and has become an amazing and hard-working person. One takeaway Bryan takes from this episode is to not be afraid to reach out and ask for help when you need it.

The most effective way of learning for me was just failing over and over again. Being in a place where you don’t know anything and where you have to force yourself to learn. In this episode of Nat Chat, I’m joined by Bekah Lundy. Bekah started off as a student of The University of Minnesota, where after a year, she started to get into web development and realized normal college just wasn’t for her. She left and went through a coding boot camp called Turing. Seven months later, she started working as a developer for a start-up called Apto in Boulder, Colorado. Bekah’s story is a great example for those who are wanting to leave a traditional career route to pursue things that they’re actually passionate about. We cover a wide range of topics, including: Self-educating yourself Finding the confidence to stray from the traditional career path Learning to program and code Using failure as a way to accelerate learning Being passionate about your work Turing, the effective coding boot camp And much more. Please enjoy, and reach out to Bekah on Twitter! If you enjoyed our discussion on learning, self-education, and leaving college, be sure to check out my episode with Zak Slayback, and my episode with Connor Grooms.

“Figure out the basics of a skill, focus on a specific element, push out of your comfort zone, and get feedback.” - Lucas Miller In this episode of Nat Chat we have Lucas Miller. I found Lucas through Max Friedman, who came on for episode 5, since Lucas used Max’s platform GiveButter in order to crowdfund his book Beyond Brilliance. As a student, Lucas went deep on the science of learning and memorization to figure out how he could rapidly accelerate his learning and make college effortless.

“Find the thing that gets you excited, because that’s the thing that’s going to drive you through the hard times and the good times.” - Max Friedman In this episode of Nat Chat we have Max Friedman. Max and I first got in touch three years ago when he was still in college, working on an app for finding local events called “Happening.” The app didn’t work out, but he’s worked on a number of startup related projects since then including his latest, GiveButter, which is a fundraising platform specifically targeted at engaging young people, a demographic normally inclined to donate. I wanted to have Max on for a few reasons: First, he was completely self taught at programming, which allowed him to build that first app as well as his subsequent projects, and we dive into how he taught himself that during the episode. Second, Max was relentless about experimenting and trying new projects as a student, which eventually led to GiveButter which he’s able to work full time on now as a graduate. Third, while many of the guests on this show figured out they wanted to do their own work post graduation, Max decided it early on, and did everything he could to make it happen before graduation which he succeeded at. We covered a lot in this episode:  How Max started working on these entrepreneurial projects How his and his roommates viral marketing stunt took off and turned into GiveButter How he dealt with failure and shutting down his first startup How to think about “financial freedom” How he negotiated with his professors to work on his own projects in class How he got into more of a “skills mindset” instead of a “gpa mindset” Please enjoy, and if you’re a student interested in working with Max, definitely check out the summer opportunities available at GiveButter!
