  "The White Seal" is a short story by the Nobel Prize-winning British author Rudyard Kipling. It first appeared in print in the August 1893 issue of the London-based magazine National Review. It was published again in 1894 as part of the anthology The Jungle Book.
  Unusually for a story in The Jungle Book, none of the action in "The White Seal" takes place in India. The story proper begins on an island in the Bering Sea between Russia and Alaska. The title character and protagonist, Kotick, is the first white seal ever to have been born on the island. When Kotick discovers that some of the seals on the island are killed by hunters for their skins every year, he sets off on a quest to find an island where seals can live without fear because no humans have ever visited it. His quest takes him all over the Pacific Ocean and beyond.

  "Like Cats and Dogs" is a multi-threaded, poetically narrated story for older children and adults, set in an anonymous mountain shelter (referred to as THIS place), where a group of extraordinary animals cross paths: a Large Gray Cat named Pepe and Ursa, the Wise White Dog. 
  Pepe, an intellectual and a loner who once lived in the grand cathedral of Oliwa, has come to the mountains seeking peace and adventure. At first, he keeps his distance from others, but over time, he forms an unlikely and extraordinary friendship with Ursa, the guardian of THIS place. 
  Through the adventures of the two main characters, we also meet Mojka — a cheerful little dog with a difficult past — and Louis, a cynical and unfriendly cat-hunter. As the story unfolds, new characters join the scene: Dodi and Ivan, two young seekers on a quest to find a lost medieval manuscript. 
  The tale gradually evolves into a suspenseful detective story about hidden secrets from the past, eventually transforming into a philosophical allegory about the true meaning of friendship.

  Many of the concentration camps and ghettos under the Nazi regime had cultural and artistic activities which have been reported upon. The cabaret was very popular in the concentration camp of Buchenwald. Any available space could be transformed, as was done in Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Dachau, and Theresienstadt. It seems apparent that these cabaret presentations were acts of resistance and attacks on the Third Reich. The heavily satirical content of these entertainment sites has already been noted.  
  Moreover, this book attempts to use theatrical performances to learn more about the conditions in the camp and how they changed during its existence.
