Cheryl Reibel is the author of "Resilience," a book of illustrated poetry that recounts the real stories of Jewish children and teenagers who survived the Holocaust. These narratives are deeply personal to Reibel, as many are her family's stories, having grown up in Elizabeth, New Jersey, surrounded by survivors including her parents, aunts, uncles, and neighbors.

Reibel pursued her education in Journalism and Public Relations at New York University and studied History at Tel Aviv University.
