There are tales of sorrow and joy in the Easter Sunday Pick of the Week. Two young people from Yorkshire, one Jew, one Muslim, confront the horrors of the Nazi Gas chambers. And a 14 year old suicide bomber in Pakistan reflects on the carnage he caused.
But then you can listen to the Glorious sounds of Tutankhamen's trumpets 3000 years after they were entombed; and the story of how singer Emmylou Harris rescued a pooch from certain death; and the glorious music of Easter.
