After Sharon Easton published her book, she knew she needed more. This pushed her to dive deeper into her family’s world before immigrating to Canada. She needed to go back to their European Roots — a place where her family never returned.

Sharon’s remarkable PowerPoint presentation reveals her family’s heritage as she toured Lithuania, Poland, and Germany. Her presentation reveals an emotional journey as she ventures back in time to the pre-World War II years, the Nazi invasion, the Holocaust, the Soviet Union in power, and the present day, 2023.
