In Screams Before Silence, Sheryl Sandberg, former COO of Meta (Facebook) and founder of LeanIn.org, interviews multiple eyewitnesses, released hostages, first responders, medical and forensic experts, and survivors of the Hamas massacres in an effort to expose both the brutality and the silence around this tragedy.
