  Light in the Dark - The Last...

  An extraordinary true story of survival and courage through the Holocaust. 
   
   
   
  Poland, 1943. It was the last refuge of the desperate, a warren of sewers underneath their city. Above, as the Nazis destroyed the ghetto of the city of Lvov, a small band of Jews escaped into a grim network of tunnels, living for fourteen months with the city's waste, the sudden floods, the fumes and the damp, the rats, the darkness, and the despair. 
   
   
   
  Their only support was a lone sewer worker, an ex-criminal who constantly threatened to leave them. Many died; some falling into the rushing waters of the river, some simply of exhaustion. At one point the survivors found themselves trapped in a chamber, filling to the roof with storm-water. 
   
   
   
  Yet survive they did, even infiltrating the camps above to find their missing relatives. When the Russians liberated Lvov, they emerged from the sewers filthy, bent double, emaciated, unrecognizable . . . but alive. 
   
   
   
  This powerful story based on a long series of interviews, and a hitherto private diary, creates a blazing testimony to human faith and endurance.

  Sincerity - Communicating with...

  Sincerity is the foundation of meaningful communication. It fosters trust, deepens relationships, and allows individuals to express themselves without fear of pretense or deception. In a world where surface-level interactions are common, sincere communication stands out as a rare and valuable trait. People instinctively recognize authenticity, gravitating toward those who speak with honesty and conviction. When words and intentions align, communication becomes more impactful, creating connections that are both genuine and lasting. 
  Authenticity in speech and action is not just about being truthful; it is about being fully present and engaged in the conversation. It requires self-awareness, a clear understanding of personal values, and the courage to express oneself without the need for embellishment. Those who communicate sincerely are not driven by the desire to impress or manipulate. Instead, they prioritize clarity and honesty, ensuring their words accurately reflect their thoughts and emotions. This transparency fosters deeper connections, as others feel heard, respected, and valued in return. 
  Sincerity also plays a crucial role in credibility. Whether in personal relationships or professional settings, trust is built on consistent and honest communication. People who habitually exaggerate or hide their true feelings often struggle to gain the confidence of others. On the other hand, individuals who speak with integrity create an environment where open dialogue is encouraged, reducing misunderstandings and fostering mutual respect. When sincerity is at the core of interactions, people feel comfortable expressing themselves without fear of judgment or manipulation.

  A reconsideration of Virginia Woolf’s groundbreaking A Room of One’s Own through a very modern lens, revisiting Woolf’s now archaic politics and mining the text for lessons on how to be a writer.

  Get It Out - On the Politics of...

  At least one hysterectomy is performed every minute of the year, making it the most common gynecological surgery worldwide. By the age of sixty-five, one out of five people born with a uterus will have it removed. So, why do we seldom talk about this surgery? Highly performed yet overlooked, examining the paradox of hysterectomy begins to unravel the various problems with how we medically treat uteruses and the people who have them. 
   
   
   
  Get It Out weaves centuries of medical history with rich qualitative data from 100 women, trans men, and nonbinary people who had, want, or are considering hysterectomy. In compelling detail, Andréa Becker reveals how America’s healthcare system routinely deprives people of the ability to control their own bodies along race and gender lines. When people ask for a hysterectomy, they are often met with pushback: Are you sick enough? Old enough? Have you had enough babies? Will you regret this? How will your future husband feel about this? Yet this pushback is not equally experienced. While some people are barred access, others are ushered toward a hysterectomy. These contradictory recommendations reveal the persistent biases entrenched within healthcare. 
   
   
   
  Get It Out interrogates how little choice people with uteruses ultimately have over their reproductive health, and explores what these "choices" signify amid interlocking systems of inequality.
