Grace did not know. How long would it take to figure it out? How did the  child of Holocaust survivors become a survivor herself? It was a  mystery that took a lifetime to unravel. Until then, through the many  difficulties she experienced, the lodestar that helped her was that "It could  have been worse." The hand she was dealt was having been born in New York  to a damaged family of Jews who came out of late 1930s Germany. It took  her until she was in her eighties to understand her life, the ways she  sabotaged herself, and why. PTSD and transgenerational trauma, the  latter only being studied now, are the keys. Now she knows. Grace shares insights with us in this interview, along with excerpts from the book. You can find more at her website, enoughtofallthat.com

How did the Outer Cape Mock Caldecott begin? At the outset of our seventh Mock Caldecott, Barbara Klipper shares the story of how her own experience with the American Library Association's Caldecott Medal award segued, with Youth Librarian Maggie Hanelt's participation, into the Truro Mock Caldecott and, a few years later, the Outer Cape Mock Caldecott.  In 2020-21, it is the Virtual Mock Caldecott! To hear the anecdotes not found elsewhere, listen here.

Anne Makepeace (Makepeace Productions, Inc.) and Jennifer Weston (Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project & Wampanoag Mashpee Wampanoag Language Department) join Galen on Truro Airwaves to discuss We Still Live Here (Âs Nutayuneân). The film, co-produced by our guests, tells a remarkable story of cultural revival by the Wampanoag of Southeastern Massachusetts. The podcast covers the concept for the film, highlights from the story, the status of the project today, the associated project Our Mother Tongues, and information about how to #StandWithMashpee. Thank you to our guests for sharing your time, knowledge, and insights with us!
