Sunday Paper Recommends—Week of November 27, 2022
At The Sunday Paper, we want to inspire you to gather at your table—virtually or with friends and family—and open your heart and mind to conversations that will move the needle. After all, the dinner table is where we connect on topics and map out the changes we can all make that’ll truly make an impact.
This week, to encourage your conversations, we recommend checking out the following:
What We're Reading:
Ninety-nine-year-old Stella Levi is one of the last Holocaust survivors from Rhodes, an island in Greece. In 1943, the Germans seized control of the Island from the Italians, and the rest is history. Over six years, Levi would meet with Michael Frank every Saturday to share about how she rebuilt a life when everything fell apart with courage, resilience, hope, and more. Now, these conversations turned into One Hundred Saturdays: Stella Levi and the Search for a Lost World.
What We're Listening To:
It is not an overstatement to say that if it wasn’t for Kasturba, there would be no Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi first learned about passive resistance when his wife Kasturba demonstrated the household version of civil disobedience. There are many other untold stories of talented individuals who played crucial roles in the success of renowned figures. We are loving how Team Coco’s podcast Significant Others is putting the spotlight on them.
What We're Watching:
“If you think you know Gabby’s story already, you haven’t seen the half of it,” Hillary Clinton recently shared on Twitter about former Arizona Congresswoman Gabby Gifford’s documentary.
Gifford was shot in the head in an assassination attempt in 2011. Since recovery, she relentlessly fights for gun safety. Her documentary Gabby Gifford Won’t Back Down features her journey and interviews with her supportive family and friends, including her husband astronaut-turned-Senator Mark Kelly and Barack Obama.
