Sharon Cameron is an amazing and compassionate storyteller who is committed to bringing history to light and remembering those whose lives ended in horror. Sharon's newest book is "Up From the Ashes" based on an extraordinary true story in WWII, the Sobibor death camps. Written for a YA audience it's compelling reading for older audiences as well, reading that needs to be done so we see the horror humans can do and we don't recreate such horror again. The prisoner revolt occurred on October 14, 1943, just over 83 years ago. Sharon spoke with the children and grandchildren of Chaim and Selma who survived not just the camp but the escape. www.sharoncameronbooks.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Marilyn Milano is a Seattle-based vocalist/pianist and can easily be called an animal advocate.  Pets are often considered a family member, bringing comfort and companionship to all ages. Their lifespan is much shorter than ours, and so we will definitely outlive them. Marilyn tells us of her loss of eleven pups over the years; it's a challenge each time, and yet most of us decide to return and bring another sweet creature into our lives. It's also important to grieve the loss, and there is support for when it occurs - it's beneficial to reach out.www.marilynmilano.net and https://www.ahelpproject.orgSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
