Elon Dershowitz, a film and podcast producer and the son of attorney and longtime Harvard University law professor Alan Dershowitz, died on Sunday. He was 64 years old.
The cause of death was a stroke, according to his family.
“We were very close,” Dershowitz told JNS. Elon was the producer of his podcast “The Dershow.”
He explained that at the age of 10, Elon was diagnosed with a brain tumor and told that he wouldn’t live to see his bar mitzvah.
“He’s had 52 years since that time, and he’s lived a full life and made these great movies,” his father said. “He struggled because he had that situation, which left him not being able to read or see, but he made up for it with his hard work.”
Elon’s mother, Sue Barlach, died in 1983.
Elon graduated from Hampshire College in Amherst, Mass.,
