Episode notes
In this powerful episode of Strategies for Living, David and Lauren talk with author and artist Nancy Rosenfeld, whose book 50 Cents for a Life chronicles her father Bernard’s miraculous escape from World War II Europe — a true story of survival, synchronicity, resilience, and the healing power of art.
Nancy shares how her father fled Lithuania at just 17, the decades of silence that followed, and the emotional discovery of the manuscript he wrote for his four daughters nearly 50 years later. She reveals the profound role that art therapy, memory, cultural identity, and personal expression played in her father’s healing — and how researching and writing his story transformed her own life.
