Cheryl Reibel attended New York University for a BA in Journalism. She spent a semester at Tel Aviv University studying History. She then attended the New School in New York City with a certificate in Human Behavior.

Cheryl has always had an interest in the stories of different people but none measured up to the experiences of what the history of the Holocaust imposed on them and the resilience of the Jewish People as a whole.

Growing up in a community of Holocaust survivors, Cheryl was immersed in their tales of courage and survival. By tapping into these childhood memories and bringing these stories to life as poems, Cheryl seeks to empower the next generation to build a better, kinder world, and never forget the lessons of the past.

She is a great believer in humanity's kindness and sensitivity to others and the decision to write this book is a reflection of those beliefs.

As her two daughters move into their adult lives, she can already see glimmers of change for the better.
